Well, yeah. It could hardly work the other way. It's hard to understand why that's not
obvious to everyone.


Why is that hard to understand?

In certain areas, certainly, one would understand why science would demand that religion adapt to their new discoveries. In physics, archaeology, medicine, etc.

But in other areas, one would expect science to adapt to certain religious discoveries. For one example, there are getting to be scientifically valid studies that show that prayer has an effect on healing, even prayer which the person being prayed for has no knowledge of. What has science done to adapt its views to rhia discovery?

Science is one branch of knowledge. It is not the only one. It is not even the only valid one.
