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.
Science has been around for thousands of years, because it is people that does the collecting of data and experimentation. It took thousands of years for science to get where it is, exactly because science is about the process of collecting data and experimenting, to build a strong knowledge base upon which new discoveries are made and confirmed. If people do not have time to wait around, it is fine, no worries. The current knowledge base will be handed down, generation upon generation for thousands of years to further the cause of science, which is about understanding the nature of reality. True science is not interested to appease anyone, but rather to continue investigating and explaining phenomena. This is how science operates - it integrates a cohesive knowledgeable worldview.
Scientists like their job. That's why they try to appease the questioning minds of non-scientists in religious science ways... science theory as fact. If they didn't, the people would lose all their respect for scuentists. Why? Because REAL science takes way too long to find the answers for the most important questions... Heaven, Hell, God, evolution, life without end, lots more.
