Sorry That Position Is Already Filled

This isn't going to be a very long post however, an idea has been in my mind and I just wanted to get it out before it disappears into that unknown region where all my other good ideas seemed to go when I am so sure that I will remember them.

Science and religion always seem to be at each others throats, however it is not so much the scientists or the theologians who are in conflict, as it is their followers, who are always citing their own version of scientific or religious fact.

It seems that all one has to do to discredit someones beliefs, is to ask for the scientific basis for that belief, as if somehow science held all the answers to life.

Science has been wrong quite often in the past, and there is no reason to think that they will develop a perfect track record of being right in the future.

The very fact that science believed one idea during one period of earth's history, then later substituted that idea for a higher version of truth, reveals that science is usually working with incomplete information, and that their suppositions have been overturned by new information many times in earth's history.

If all scientific theory was true, we would all be living in the stone age because nothing would change. When you're always right, there is never a need for any revision of theory or fact.

If science was always right the earth would still be flat, the sun would still be revolving around the earth, and healers would still be bleeding us to cure all our ailments.
People who do not recognize that science has been operating on "idea of the month" since it's inception, have not been living on the same planet as the rest of us.

So in summation I will say that "truth" is the only exact science, and all else is the search for that truth, whether it be by the scientific or religious community. And,... if you are still searching, then how can you say you hold the truth?

I personally respect all the progress that both science and religion has made over the years, despite their inevitable errors, however I don't make either of them "my God," because that position is already filled.
