REligions feed off ignorance. Anything we dont understand... is God. Look how many things were considered divine work until science proved otherwise, so the church simply revised their beliefs to no longer include these things.
Darwinism:
"A not untypical response, from the wife of the Bishop of Worcester, "Descended from the apes! My dear, let us hope that it is not true, but if it is, let us pray that it will not become generally known.""
The church originlly condemned Darwin's theories at best, and at worst tried to keep them from being well known. It wasn't until 1950 tht the Pope said Christinity had no opposition Darwinism, and not until 2006 that it stated it accepted evolution as "the theory of evolution provides a fruitful and unifying scientific explanation for the emergence of life on earth, that many theological interpretations of origins can readily embrace an evolutionary outlook, and that an acceptance of evolution is entirely compatible with an authentic and living Christian faith.". Basically the church STILL ignoring that evolution completely opposes Christian belief in the beginning and subsequent life of it.
"The Church of England is considering the possibility of apologising posthumously to Darwin, for its earlier condemnation of his theory."
So basically Darwin was right, it took the church generations to admit it, and even upon admitting it they still say their religios beliefs are correct and do not oppose the theory of evolution.
Glileo, you know, the guy who said the earth was not the center of the universe, but tht the sun was, and we revolve around it... any of you religious zelouts remember how religion treated him? He was forced to recant his theories and live under house arrest the final several years of his life. Why? For daring to oppose the Catholic chruch's fundamentl beliefs... so what if he was right.
Shall I list more ways in which religion has 'evolved' to fit itself into the modern world where we are not nearly so ignorant as we use to be? Faith, why should we have it when we see so many things that previous generations were told to take on faith alone, and were wrong. Why should we have it when we've seen the religions of the world change their story every time science proves they are full of shit?
