science... religion.... both beliefs for things that can't be proven.

I allow people to believe what they want be it  Jesus or global warming.   Eventually all things will become apparent.

Science is not a belief system. By definition it is a system for establishig the best possible answer to a question and it INVITES correction.

Only a matter if degree MT... religion has accepted the earth rotating around the sun... science is often very adverse to changing it's pet theories.

You can spend most of your lifetime being indoctrinated by some bogus scientific theory that is forced upon you before it is "invited" to be changed.

in practice... What's the difference?

All scientific answers invite correction. Indoctrination is not science.

Silly question. Maybe you should read up on the changes to the understanding of Natural Selection since Darwin's day.

both science and religion change when yu hold their feet to the fire long enough... one claims to invite change tho...  It is a religion of change... change for change sake in most cases.

To believe in a higher power is not in conflict with science.

The universe has rules. The universe has order....it's not just a random, ever changing soup of chaos like you'd imagine from something that came into being from nothing, at random.

what? extorting belief thru fear and a dogma based on a poorly scripted sci-fi movie. common sense would dictate galileo to be a hero of his time. the majority of religions don't even reconize women as equals, they repressive those they embrace.

science has been pulled inside out over the last 500 years, it's not bias towards faith, race or gender to effect changes to its theories, and doesn't persecute those that do.

how does religion explain how much dna humans share with chimps, were they the first prototypes or maybe the virgin mary had an affair.

Maybe y'all need to watch last night's episode of The Simpsons again.  They had some pretty good insight into intercenine bickering.
