If you took all the religions in the world and destroyed them, in 1000 years there would be entirely new religions, completely different from the old religions...

If you took all the science in the world and destroyed it... in 1000 years there would be EXACTLY THE SAME SCIENCE

Mathematics is not something invented by humans, it is discovered by humans... mathematics is the same in any language, on any planet... 1 + 1 = 2 is a provable concept and does not change based on societal norms or which deities they currently worship

Newton and Leibniz are credited with the co-discovery of calculus... they did not invent it, they both discovered it at the same time... math/science is universal, religion is not

Dont try to find connection between science and religion as unlike science , religion at times talks about supernatural stuff and things that dont make logical sense. Science talks about things that are mostly supported by experiments , facts and theories. Religion on other hand is about beliefs and at times stories to lead mankind.

Except that few people KNOW if science talks about things that are mostly supported by experiments. Most people believe that other people have done the experiments.


One really good example is evolution. Evolution theory says that mutations happen randomly. But there are only two kinds of random:
1. Pure random, like real, spontaneous miracles;
2. Something that appears random because nobody knows how to follow the progreesion of things that made it happen this way.

If it's pure random, you might as well call it miracles = religion.

If it is standard random, it is only the fact that we don't know because we don't understand how or that it worked in any one instance... because we have never followed the progression.

So, nobody knows that there is any evolution. But science says that there is. So, science is treating evolution the way we treat religion... believing it without having any factual knowledge of it, because nobody has ever seen or recorded the progression of evolution.


Religion is first. Science simply follows in its footsteps.
