You are throwing the idea out that for it to be self correcting that all religous people must believe it, religion is not that way. The majority of religous people have no problem with science and infuse it in their beliefs thus self correcting religon. Science to me is not "oputside" of religion like you are making it to be. To me you are trying to say religion is not self correcting because they are not all sheep following the same thing, i am trying to say religion is self correcting. I just havent found the words to convine you of that. I am working on it.

Dude, listen to what you're saying:  The majority of religous people have no problem with science and infuse it in their beliefs thus self correcting religon - - - - - - - -  You're saying that science is infused into religious beleifs thus correcting it, that's the same as saying that "science corrects religion",totally different from religion correcting religion

anyways, I don't think it's possible right now for religion to "correct itself" as the source for the information and writings is long gone and we are going to suddenly "discovered" anything new in this field

BUT one very very important thing that you seem to be forgetting is that for something to be corrected, it needs to be "not right" to begin with. if religion is indeed the "infallible word of god" than this by definition makes it impossible to correct as it is not possible for it to be wrong in the first place by definition... so if science in fact WERE to correct religion in one way or another, that religion would be deemed false, end of story

like if some religion stated long ago in its texts that the earth was flat... we now are certain that the earth is round so the discovery of the real shape of the earth would have led to the discarding of this religion - - - - - that's why science correcting religion or religion correcting itself is not in religion's favor at all. huge wall of text is huge.

I am saying science is a part of religion when said science is done by those who belive in said religions or religous beliefs.

I never said the bolded, and I do not know many who would. I also never said religion is infalible so Ido not see wh y you are attacking me there.
