Religion is about believing what you desperately want [to be true] (or having been taught you should be wanting/needing) and holding on to that belief no matter what. In essence, religion encapsulates.

Science is about discovering the nature of reality through many trials and errors, a never-ending process. Science builds on knowledge, based on discovered truths. In essence, science liberates.

Through science, you can live an integrated, knowledgeable life. Through religion, you can live a compartmentalized, wishful-thinking life.

The problem with this is, it will take thousands of years for factual science to catch up with today's major religious assumptions... to show which assumptions are scientifically true, and which aren't. People don't have time to wait around for thousands of years.

So, science appeases people by stating many science theories as though they were factual, when nobody knows if science theories are factual. In essence, science is simply making science religion when it does this.
