Well, science is not religion and it doesn't just come down to faith. Although it has many of religion's virtues, it has none of its vices. Science is based upon verifiable evidence. Religious faith not only lacks evidence, its independence from evidence is its pride and joy, shouted from the rooftops.

Though it is true that Religion doesn't have substantial evidence in most cases, there will still be instances that Science itself will not be able to explain a questionable occurance. This would still boil down to the question, is there really something or someone who's higher than any of us?
Science and religion have a huge difference. They differ in a way of searching the truth. Science seek the truth by observation, experementation, empirical solution, and etc. Meanwhile in religion, it's not about the lack of evidence, they focused more on the bible. Religion has also evidence, however science have more evidence since science believes only in what they see.
If a religion uses as proof of the Bible, for me it is not proof. Indeed science proves any phenomenon empirically. It is not always something that you can touch. How many years, the Church denied that the earth is round?

yes church denied that the earth is round because the church only see it as a flat. but when someone try to research about the planets and the movement of the sun and the stars they might have an idea that the earth is circular. religion uses bible as a proof. science uses proofs or evidences also. so i think there is a falacy.
What is a little such examples? It seems to me that there were enough examples where it has been proven that the Bible is lying. You will believe a man who on several occasions lied to you?
