Science can't be a religion
Almost every scientist belongs to a religion if we don't count atheists. Anyway atheism is also a religion that against to religions

No, it's not.

Science is not meant to be a religion. Yet the fact that scientists would accept as fact, much of science theory which has not been proven to be fact, starts to bring science into the realm of religion.

Scientists have built up all kinds of expressed structure about how things work, structure that is not known to be factual. They believe much of it. They attach it to the factual science. They have turned science into a religion, and made themselves the high priests of that religion.

The theoretical things are written up right along side of the factual things in books. They are taught in classrooms around the world as truth when they are not necessarily known to be truth.

For example. Two theories that are not known to be fact are Big Bang Theory and Black Hole Theory. Nobody knows that the Big Bang happened. Nobody knows what Black Holes really are.

Basically, there are three Big Bang theories. Basically there are 4 kinds of Black Holes expressed by the various Black Hole Theories. The amazing thing is that none of the Black Holes expressed by Black Hole Theory could fit withing any of the universes expressed by any of the Big Bang Theory. The theories are not compatible.

Yet, scientists just know in their hearts that the Big Bang really happened, and that Black Holes are what they say they are. And they believe it strongly, even though it all contradicts. Stand this up against the definition of "religion" to see that they have a religion going for themselves in their science.

Cool

No, it's not.
