I agree with this statement except for the last statement!! Science is based on things that can be proven or at least a theory that is believed to be fact by a majority of experts in that field (still kinda vague but, hopefully you get my point) i.e. the law of gravity, or the earth orbits the Sun.
Religion is mostly based on things that can't be proven but, are things that people choose to believe without proof. Faith and emotions can't be proven! I've seen where a few of you have tried to tie religion to science. This I just don't get. How can you make a connection between people who thought the world was flat, had no idea what a dinosaur was (probably why they aren't mentioned in most religious text)and, that the earth was the center of the solar system. Now compare that to something that is scutinized over decades, centuries, or even millenia and if you find obvious flaws, you can scrap the whole idea and start over. Try that with organized religion!
A teacher once said that evolution leaves room for religion but in religion there is no room for evolution.
