Religion is more like philosophy. Which indeed one CAN argue about- but in the end one can neither prove nor really disprove much of anything. It is not really very much like science. Everyone wants the aura of science without the rigor of it's intellectual discipline- well you can't have the mantel without the restrictions. Sorry, religion is NOT science. With science you can at least throw things out. If I say gravity does not exist, I can be proven wrong. If I say God does not exist I cannot be proven wrong. If I say he DOES exist I cannot be proven wrong. We could argue about it forever- and indeed the course of human history is full of arguments about God(s), with, it seems to me, very little progress. Science, on the other hand, has progressed quite dramatically.
