Art has no response to this, just posts a list of baseless charges.

On the contrary, Turdy, Art has already observed that your feces purity
percentage is still hovering in the high 90s. That's your dream, right?

98.6%
normal for Turdy.

Science is based on evidence. There is no evidence that any of the
laws of thermodynamics are incorrect. If some becomes available,
science will adjust accordingly. Science, while based on assumption,
is basing those assumptions on parsimony. Science is fluid.

Religion cannot change when new evidence comes into being. Religion
cannot say, for example, "You know what? The theory of evolution holds
true. I think it's right!" Religion is not even based on assumptions.
There is no evidence. You just have to have faith. That kind of
baseless faith is in no way different from somebody who has faith that
a new set of cables will "make all of the veils drop away".

Science, when confronted with a question that the answer is not
immediately available for, makes and tests hypotheses.

Religion, when confronted with a question that the answer is not
immediately available for, immediately defaults to "god's will".

Religion is a set of nice, pat answers for those who are
intellectually uncurious. The two (religion and science) are mutually
exclusive belief systems.
