Imagine I show you a coconut, and make the claim that inside the coconut there is a liquid fluid which is drinkable.
At this point you can believe me or not. We can discuss forever whether there is a drinkable liquid fluid in the coconut or not. This is the point where religion is residing, putting faith in the existance or not.
Science takes a step further, investigates, and chops the coconut on the middle and provides you with the evidence of the first claim directly into your hands.
Religion offers an thought/speculation only, which cannot be verified nor tested. (Belief/Faith)
Science offers a evidence, which can be verified and tested.(Fact/Knowledge)
Would you agree, that this is the difference between religion and science?
Would you also agree that the one making a claim, should also be the one providing the evidence to sustain the claim?
NOTE: This is NOT to bash Christians!!!!
