>> As I said, there is not much difference between science and religion at the universal level. Yes, you keep saying that and refusing to see the difference. I will agree with you when you show me a religion or even a religious belief that can be disproven. >> Really, all I’m saying, is that “science” at base is speculation. No. Science is a lot more than speculation. Science is the application of scientific method to the speculations. The big difference between science and religion is that scientists want to know whereas religion wants to believe. These are not the same things. Hypothetically, if you somehow prove that evil spirits rather than bacteria make people sick, scientists will welcome the new discovery. They don't care that they were wrong before. But the same is not true for religion. Nobody wants to hear that their god is dead or never existed. This is a huge difference and it changes the way these two operate. Science welcomes the change and actively provides means and methods for it. But religion hates apostasy and works hard to make it impossible. Which is why if it cannot be proven one way or another, it is not science.
