How many chemicals have science at one time said to be safe, only later to be proven harmful? How many times have science been used incorrectly and thrown out as fact? Science is just as bad as getting it wrong. Until science can start making advances without mistakes I will not take scietific "facts" as gospel. I prefer to wait till they can actually fully explain what they propose, until then its just theory, as so much religion is.

Religion isn't a theory, as it doesn't aim to prove anything, but assumes that what is says is fact. The beauty of science is that it corrects itself.

Have you not seen all christians beliefs change with the times? And that is only one set of beliefs. Science is also assumed to be fact sometimes only later to be disproven. What I am sating is they are almost the same thing when you look to either one to be complete fact. The beuty of religion is that it corrects itself overtime (christians belive in gravity now, the earth is not the center of the universe, medical breakthrouhgs) See? The same sentances can almost always work both ways. Just like god could have created gravity and time instead of peopl, than wouldn't that beliefe be inline with what hawkings said? Science and religion are not mutaully exclusive beliefs, and one can't bu used to disprove the other as.
