[QUOTE="Vermithrax, post: 5666361, member: 580386"] DevilDriver: I agree that there's a huge difference, to a point. I don't see science as a far more probable belief but rather just another possibility. I also agree that the beliefs are oppisites. In religion, a deity is the supreme being, the end results of his finished word and work are considered infallible and worthy of ultimate respect, and belief is based on having faith that it is right. In science, man is cast in the role and belief is based on having faith that it is right. I put it that way because history shows that scientific theories are accepted for decades at a time until a new genius emerges with a new theory which shoots down the previous belief. I'll cite the race to absolute 0 as an example. For that line of reasoning I can't see science as a more probable belief since I'd have to resolve myself to accept that I may die believing in something that isn't at all right. The same holds true for religion and that's where I feel that the basis of faith draws the two closer together in practice. [/QUOTE]
