So tell me some more about how science is different than religion.

Glad you asked.

1) Science requires evidence. Religions don't. Indeed, looking for scientific evidence to support your religious belief is evidence that you lack faith.

2) For a theory to be accepted scientifically, the evidence must be reviewed by peers and found substantial. For an assertion to be accepted in a religious sense, the listener need only be a simpleton who doesn't ask questions. Not that all believers are, but that is the minimal requirement.

3) When you ask questions in science, you often learn things. When you ask questions in a church, you get ostracized ... or worse.

4) Science works. You're typing your anti-science screed on a computer, and posting it to the internet. Religion, on the other hand, does not work. You can test this yourself: turn off your computer, think of your reply to this post of mine, and pray for it to appear in this thread without you using the tools science has devised for such a purpose.

I guarantee you that you will get better results using the products of scientific technology than you will putting your faith in your god. I guarantee it.

5) When a theory is accepted but then later found to be incorrect, scientists discard it and go to work finding a better explanation for the phenomenon under study. Religion, on the other hand, adheres to dogma, even in the face of countervailing evidence. Science is self-correcting; religion is doomed to remain incorrect.

There's more, and I could go on, but I know I'm already pushing your reading ability to its limit, so I'll let you absorb this for the time being.

Hope that helped.
