Faith - survives all scientific notion, consideration, estimation and speculation and revelation.

What truth. That Pluto is or is not a planet. I was taught it was. Did school LIE to me.
In the 1950s and 1960s everyone was taught in a Freudian clinic, today he's called a witch doctor.
Maybe the Psychiatric community should give refunds or have malpractise suits made againt them for being witch doctors.
Let's see, Newton's laws aren't laws anymore because Einstein says they don't work in Realtavistic space the same way they do in our universe.
Heisenberg says that uncertainity exists in everything, that's why drugs don't work the same and why A-bombs don't alwasy go off.
So, what TRUTHS are there if Dr. Heisenberg is correct. None. There are no truths. No absolutes. Everything is uncertain.
Everything is a roll of the dice. Dr. Plank, Dr. Heisenberg, Dr. Hawking all agree on that.
Science is a game of chance.
So where is the truth.
The truth is Science told us 30 years ago Pluto was a planet and we have 9 planets in the solar system. Today science says that is a lie.
Maybe we should recinde ALL highschool and College dipolmas until people go back and re-take those subjects and learn it the right way instead of the wrong way.

It is not religion that has thrived, but faith. Some people cannot live a day without a faith in something. With the belief that the world is not on their shoulders and there is someone to talk to that could make everything better. Also faith is a form of self completeness. Nirvana is basically complete happiness. What could be better in the world than knowing that you are completely happy? Faith is how people go on in a lot of situations. Or it could just be living on by tradition. Many people keep family traditions very close to their hearts so that is another reason why they keep religions.

Religion has been around since the beginning of humanity. There is evidence of religion going back to Neanderthal. Science is relatively new, ever-changing and improving. It's going to take a LONG time before people accept that it is not necessary to hold tight to dogma for comfort and purpose. People cling to ancient religious beliefs the way a small child clings to a favorite toy or blanket. It's familiar, static, comforting and soothing for people to believe that they're "saved" from some imaginary eternal torture, and makes them feel special because they know the "Truth".
Eventually, the child outgrows the blanket.

Its days are numbered, dude. Atheism didn't exist 200 years ago, but look how popular it is today. And it's growing, so therefore, religion will one day fade into the mythology and folklore that it is

The more science points out the complexities of Life and the Universe, the more confident I am of my faith.

people are afraid of the truth and find comfort in religion. It makes them feel important.

Because not everyone believes science has all the answers.
