18. Fundamental Differences Between Science and Religion


The important difference between science and religion is that religion comes with absolute statements, that neither can be proved or disproved, and science evolves from relative truths and statements, that can be testified and proven false. Moreover, science does not claim it has absolute knowledge on anything. Religion claims it has. If something is neither provable nor disprovable, then it is useless. It only can have value to people who prefer to be ignorant, and do not want to get into complicated knowledge, and prefer to believe in something that is disprovable. Religion is for people who claim to know everything absolutely without having done any work to get to that opinion, abd for which nobody can give any disproof. Science is based in objective findings, details, measurements and physical or natural findings or proof. Religion is based on subjective, ideas or beliefs including some based in the supernatural or intuition.
