More questions arise from scientific study than answers. The chain of questions never end with science, and there is ALWAYS infinite things to be known, and science cannot grasp it.

Science is split on the idea of the origins of man, and scientific laws don't even have to be proven. They can be proven wrong and in some cases still called a law. Some things are not even understood, but called laws because they are highly observed.

Even the very nature of science has its misconceptions as to how valid its studies, tests etc are so trying to use science to prove anything is pointless. Also, for the things that we know about this world, many of them were known long before the age of reason and the scientific method.
... MANY people that let their religions influence them in a good way, but too many others who use it to discriminate, belittle, and hurt others. in my opinion, there is no such thing as a wrong or right religion, but there is people out there who act in ways that the founders and fathers of the churches etc. never EVER intended. the bible, koran, etc are all VERY similar and are more like stories with morals that have alot to teach about humanity and that have alot to teach to people, until they are misconstrued into negative things.[/QUOTE]

I mostly agree on this, which is why I think it is important to do your own research on the foundations of faith, and scientific study before coming to a conclusion that a faith is wrong, because more than likely its the individual.

I do believe there are wrong or false religions out there.[/QUOTE]

i never said faith was wrong. i do, however, believe that 90% of the stories in the bible are just as they seem, stories. stories that should be read and DEFINITELY learned from, but still stories.

the difference between using science vs. faith to explain things is this:

science CAN be proven 100%. it may not have been so far, but it CAN be. everything that happens naturally is an "effect" to a "cause", and it creates a pattern that will be repeated until the end of time. religion cannot and will not ever be proven, unless there is some sort of LARGE and obvious event that proves it.
