The problem as i see it with the major organized monotheistic religions is this: They are, ALL of them, far too obsessively focused on BEING right for ANY of them to actually BE right.
The primary reason, among many numerous others, why i choose science over organized religion any given day is, if anything quite simply, the complete LACK of facts.
Evangelical fundamentalist zealots and ideologues face a significant disadvantage in their perpetual quest to eliminate science; and it is on of their very own invention. Religious extremists most often fail in their attempts to undermine scientific understanding of the physical universe primarily because of their pre-ordained determination of the assumption that such science is a kind of doctrine, much as the dogma to which they blindly subscribe.
Quite simply, They Could Not Be More Wrong if they tried.
These fundamentalists take the point of view that everything in their narrow, yet all-encompassing, doctrine is just that, absolute FACT, not up to interpretation, not metaphorical, not interchangeable, not open for discussion.
They therefore, not unsurprisingly, assume that scientist view their naturalistic "laws" in much a similar way.
Very directly to the contrary, the most extraordinary thing about science itself, and the reason it has persisted throughout 2+ millennia of constant siege, is the simple reality that in Science There ARE No Facts.
The term "scientific law" is a misleading misnomer, there are only theories.
The most repeatedly affirmed scientific theorems are as follows:
The THEORY Universal Gravitation, proposed by Sir Isaac Newton in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica; 1687
The THEORY of Descent with Modification through Natural Selection, proposed by Charles Darwin in On the Origin of Species; 1859.
The THEORY of Friction was first proposed by Leonardo Da Vinci.
The THEORY of Quantum Mechanics was put forward by Niels Bohr, Michael Farraday, Max Planck, Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein.
Science is not perfect, and it does not answer every question, but it is based on observations which can be predicted tested, and proven.
The scientific process, as first put forth by Rene Descartes [ Cogito Ergo Sum: "I Think ThereFore I Am"] proceeds as follows:
Problem
Hypothesis
Experimentation
Observation
Conclusion
I have yet to find an organized religion which incorporates any, very much less all, of these elements.
In any Religion, the operative word is Faith, a concept demonstrated repeatedly time and again by the very existence of some belief systems
In summary:
FAITH - FACT =FICTION +FEAR + FRANTIC FANATICISM = SUFFERING
