Response to trustng science more than religion...

Roger Duronio It's not "trusting", it's convincing: I see, hear, research information from all around me and from my fellow men, living and dead. I can follow the arguments on motion from Archimedes, to Newton, to Einstein, and literally weigh and measure and predict the speed of falling objects, the path of a baseball. I see that everyone has 5 fingers and toes on each of two hands and feet, and I follow the course of evolution on earth from 4.5 billion years ago to today and understand how the genes and their interactions, in one body,one species, all species has led to the current set of life on this planet. Science gives us the ability to take it's conclusions and "do things": make cars, planes, houses, ball parks, churches, schools, bars, etc. Religion, however, and unfortunately, cannot and does not enable us to take it's dogma and produce physical changes for our species and world. It is sterile. Science is productive. One gives us control over what we understand, the other attempts to control us with what we can not, and do not, and won't ever understand: the Spirit world of magic that gives hope, false hope, in trying to salve the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune while living here and now.
