Come on, guys. I know nobody likes to be proven wrong. But look. It's for your own good.
Consider. Even if science proved that the universe was billions of years old, and that evolution was the REAL thing, and that there was "pure random," and that all the marvels of the universe were really just happenstance, well, guess what? You'd never be able to understand it all anyway. It would take a computer the size of the earth to understand it all. You'd still be living on faith, even if you thought you knew that science had proven it all.
The point? Don't feel so bad that science is the weakest of the religions. Rather, come on over to the strongest religion - the Christian religion. After all, people simply aren't made to live without religion. Make it easy on yourselves. Convert!
So in other words we don't know everything, so toss all that you do know aside and believe in my magical sky daddy. People can live just fine without religion, thank you Consider.

This isn't the idea at all. The whole thing is based on the exact thing you said "... all that you do know ..."
Science is constantly reviewing and updating what has been learned. For example, there was a time that quantum mechanics wasn't understood by many, and was accepted by few. There are still those in the scientific world, few that they may be at this stage of the game, who still don't accept quantum mechanics.
If science ever becomes big enough that it can prove or disprove God, nobody will be able to use it for such, because God is so complex and beyond anything that science could ever do, that science might as well forget it.
In addition, this:
Precisely the thing that I am talking about with regard to science. Certainly there are parts of science that are logical and actual. But there are other parts that might seem logical and actual in some ways, but haven't been proven yet.
This is the exact way that virtually all religions work. They all have something that makes sense, is logical. In fact, most of them have many things that are logical. But they, also, have the parts that are not proven, and possibly cannot be proven. People believe these unproven parts on faith.
Consider. If you are a man of science, you know which areas of your field of science are proven, and which areas need more investigation. But, when it comes to an area of science that is not your field, what do you do? You look at the credibility of the scientists that have done work in those areas. Then you either believe them, or you don't. Science is a faith thing. It is religion.
When you scientifically study the Bible and its history of coming together, you find that it is an impossible-to-exist book. If you haven't done the studies yourself, you either believe, or you don't believe those who have done the studies. It's called religion.
Science is too big for anyone to hold in his mind completely. It is a religion.
