Audiophool 'BELIEF' (a.k.a religion) counts for nothing in the real world..


But I'll give you an alternative viewpoint: Science *is*
complicated. Science has the questions. Sometimes, if we're
lucky.


Science isn't 'complicated', in the sense that it doesn't obey what some people
supposedly think is 'common sense'. That says more about the alleged 'common
sense' believers than it does about science.


To say that we have the answers is the end of science and
the beginning of religion.


NO.

Religion requies belief in some idea without regard to whether it may be a real
or practical possibility.

In short, 'belief' requires that one must dismiss facts as inconsequential and
give preference instead to story telling. Hence religion must be seen as a
cancer on the world.
