Science has also explained phenomena that religion has never contemplated or imagined.
What so "miraculous" about religion? While I use science every minute of my day, religion is nowhere in my daily world. If I have a question about life ,the universe, and everything, science answers, not religion.

That's your belief system. Opinions vary.
And there are many spiritual and religious systems that are fully compatible with modern science, and fill in the gaps where science hasn't caught up.
Energy work and holistic healing have been used for thousands of years. Practically, effectively, and consitently. Modern science is only now starting to map those energy patterns and channels using magnetic resonance imaging. Does that make the mystic wrong and science right, or science wrong and the mystic right?
Besides, you miss the point of most religions, which is to provide personal guidance, and a sense of connection to the universe. Yes, you can talk about that connection in terms of interlacing magnetic fields, or quantum resonance, nuclear weak force. But that doesn't make the emotional intuitive connection any less valid.
Your life does not involve a connection with the divine, and may not even include the existence of the divine. That's your belief system, and it's perfectly valid for you. I do computer systems design and just graduated law school, but I am also an ordained minister. My life includes both science and that which science has not yet fully explained.
It doesn't have to be only one or only the other. Unless you choose that all-or-nothing model. That's your belief system. Opinions vary.

Religious explanations are always worse, because they are not based on reason or objective evidence. Religions do provide answers, but these answers are not backed up by reality. They're fairy tales, like everything in religions.

religion says we were created. science says we evolved by tiny changes over a long period of time. Monkeys have 17 pairs of chromosomes we have 23 pairs. Adding to the DNA string is a HUGE change but science doesn't go there. Science is the religion of the godless so what can you expect?

People use religion apparently so that they don't kill and rape each other.
At least, this is what I assume since they think this is what atheists do when they don't believe in god.

Does religion 'answer' you when you're in the pit of despiar, girl above me? Because I could go for killing myself about now and God doesn't help me one jot.

Does science answer when you are at the pit of despair, and you wish to die. Does science answer when the world is turned against you?
