That's good. It's just that people love to use science as absolute truth and grasp to what the evidence points to... until we observe that view was wrong and then on to the next theory to be absolutely true. (Obviously people won't say science is absolute truth but if you observe how they talk they usually don't acknowledge the possibility of their views or beliefs to be wrong just like religions due)

As for Flash Gordon's statement, he acknowledges science will be off sometimes... yet he still seems to believe it... funny how usually those people don't allow the same to religion.

Because one is the word of man, and one is the word of God, i.e. supposed to be perfect by definition. God's word is held up to a much higher standard; perfection. If ONE thing is wrong, then it's all wrong, period.


Thanks miz.  Furthermore religions tend to state something and pass it on as fact without any evidence of diligence. Science is understood to be an evolving explanation which is why even gravity is still a theory.  Scientists try to prove each other wrong all the time because science experiments to come as close to fact as possible. Science has proven time and again that it is superior to religion at explaining the physical world around us.  This is mainly because science is not static like most religions. The supernatural and things beyond our current understanding do not work well with science.  Religion is a way for some to explain these things among its other benefits.  I find it naive to expect people to give equal merit to religion at explaining the physical world when it is clearly inferior to science in this specific regard.  It is asking people to abandon logic to fit your preference.  

Sorry if I came/come off as condescending.  We can have religion and science in most instances.  They don't need to be at odds but people naturally want to convince others to agree with them.  Just respect people and accept that they have the right to believe and say what they want.  Good luck to the OP on finding what works for you.
