Science and religion are not two peas in a pod.
We cannot just declare religion an answer in the same way science is an answer. It's absurd and wrong. If true, tell me one great mystery that religion has solved sans evidence?
Religion is wrong. Science is not wrong. As far as the evidence goes. We use science to build technology, what technology has been built off religion? What ideas have become useful to the masses? Which ideas have been found to be true, which did not find their origins within the realm of science?
Why are people not able to judge? What makes lay people bad judges of the conclusions of knowledge? This seems a pretty elitist opinion that science doesn't share. Brainwashing is rather specific, I'm ready to change my opinions on subjects, just give me some evidence.
That we progressed from ignorance to knowledge, from religion to science, from wrong to right, doesn't give credit of the former to the latter. We do not credit astrology with astronomy any more than it warrants credit. We do not credit alchemy for chemistry. We give credit where credit is due, and none is due to religion.
The attempts to conflate the two as different ways of knowing is a disservice to science and an unwarranted complement to religion.

Let Them Eat Cake!
-- Tatarize you've neglected your blog for days.
Have a demotivator I made, they shall be happy.
-- Couldn't they just go to your flickr stream and look at them all.
No. I demand they trickle out and readers be impressed.
