essentially this has been my point is i need a religion that has the ability to adapt to changes in science

therefor for me there can't be a text of religion that has a first chapter of science cause science will be discovering new facts

Science is a Relative Truth
Eternal Religion is Absolute Truth (Jaiva Dharma)
Do you know the difference of Relative and the Absolute Truth?
Don't you know that the Real (Eternal) Religion is scientific, because it has Theory (knowledge), the experiment (practical) and the Result ?
The point is , if u want to learn Italian, u will find an Italian teacher, in the same way , if u want spiritual knowledge u will find someone that has got it " Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realised souls can impart knowledge unto you BECAUSE THE HAVE SEEN THE TRUTH." Bg.4.34
If u are not looking for spiritual life, than why r u so angry?

Don't you mean Harry Kerry?

It's the beard. People don't trust men with beards unless they're dead. The longer dead the better. Also, Richard Dawkins does get a bit irritating. If David Attenborough was pushing the line harder, he wouldn't get so many peoples' backs up.

But anyway, science surely goes like this:

You can't positively prove anything to be true.
You can only prove something to be untrue.

So you propose a hypothesis (string theory, evolution, whatever). In proposing it, you MUST suggest the means for proving it to be untrue. If time and effort don't supply a result for the "null hypothesis" (the hypothesis that your hypothesis is rubbish) then you get to call your hypothesis a theory. That's where string theory is now.

More time and effort pass, and more evidence is amassed. If the overwhelming mass of evidence is in favour of your theory, it becomes accepted as the best description of reality available for now - but not "proved truth". If it happens to be something quite fundamental, it also gets called a "law" - but the proof for it is no stronger for it having that name.

Religion gets to "truth" much faster - it just asserts it and then coerces. Very simple, and you can get to truth that way while still being unlettered (or even being a highly literate fool).

In short, religion is for the lazy. It's not about to do the "honorable" thing...

Professor Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s most famous geologists. Professor Korner, so it seemed to us, has a special talent of being evasive. For example, we asked him to describe the geological conditions of Arabia. ‘Was Arabia full of orchards and rivers?’ He said, During the Snow Age. And it is further known that the North Polar icebergs are slowly moving southwards. When those polar icebergs become relatively close to the Arabian Peninsula, the weather will change and Arabia will become one of the greenest and wettest parts of the world. We asked him: ‘Will Arabia become the land of orchards and rivers?’ He said: Yes, it is a scientific fact. This astonished us, and we wondered how he could state this as a scientific fact while it was related to the future and we asked: ‘Why?’ He said: Because the new Snow Age has actually started. And we can see the snow scrawling once again from the North Pole southwards. In fact, the polar snow is now on the way to get closer to the Arabian Peninsula. We can see the signs of this in the snow blizzards striking the northern parts of Europe and America every winter. Scientists have other signs and information proving the actual beginning of another Snow Age. It is a scientific fact. So we said to him: ‘What you have just mentioned has only been known to scientists after a long series of discoveries and with the help of specialized instruments.

But we have already found this mentioned by the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) 1400 years ago. He said in a Hadith transmitted by Saheeh Muslim: “"The last Hour will not come upon us until the lands of the Arabs are once again pasture lands and filled with rivers."”

At this point we asked Professor Kroner: ‘Who told the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), that the lands of the Arabs were once filled with orchards and rivers?’ He immediately replied: ‘The Romans’. This reminded me of Professor Kroner’s evasive ability. We asked him another question, we said to him: ‘But who informed the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), that the lands of the Arabs would one again become pasturelands and be filled with rivers?’. Professor Kroner becomes evasive if embarrassed. But whenever he was faced with the truth, he is courageous enough to state his opinion frankly and thus he replied: This could have been known to him only through revelation from above.

I can't speak for other religions, but I believe I know the answer from the Christian point of view and that is; it accepts proven Scientific evidence and not theory. Science of course is a gift from God. Hara-kiri has no place in the Christian faith.

In all honesty, science in not proved truth. It is man's explanation for natural phenomenon using a stringnet method of questions, testing and validation.

Similarly, religion is another form of man's explanation for natural phenomenon. It however does not require proof, just faith.

Historically, religions do fail when sufficient scientific evidence has been presented to counter religious explanations. Typically a religion will either evolve to incorporate the new information, or will go extinct.

If science is a "proved truth" then how come we have so many medicines which are released to the public without proper trials?

If science is a "proved truth" then how come we are having a global environmental crisis?

If science is a "proved truth" then how come there are so many wild and frankly speculative ideas about black holes, wormholes etc being put about when there is not a shred of proof for them?

Nothing in science is ever really "proven", it's all theory. A well-established theory that seems to be invariable is defined as a "law", such as the laws of gravity and physics. It's unfortunate that so many people in religion refuse to acknowledge or deny science instead of realizing that it all fits together. We as a people will never understand everything there is to know, and to say that we do is a horrible mistake.

There is a lot of educated guessing going on in science and a lot of blind faith in religion. I'll stick to what feels right to me and let the rest of you waste your time arguing over things that are not going to be resolved here.

Actually is science is so true and correct, why is it that every so many years they suddenly change what they believe and try to get people to forget about previous statements that they made? I'll stick with God and the Bible for they have been and are the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow,.

Science poves a FACT not a truth. Truth is a subjective belief. Religion is based on Faith, and a search for meaning.
