Yes, the old ways are going out with the bathwater and that could be a good or bad thing. Science provides new miricles every day and Christians have been waiting for 2000 years for their leader to return. It would be bad to forget the past, but much of it needs to be changed. theories sping up and die all the time. 1500 years ago if you had said the world was round, people would have laughed or burned you at the stake as a heretic. Give it another 200 years or so and then we will see.

Christianity and Islam wouldn't need to be destroyed if its followers would stop insisting that their religious scriptures are factual accounts of history. If they would look at them as myths, a spiritual guidebook, rather than literal, factual truth (God LITERALLY handed this book down to these people and they are the ONLY ones he'll accept), neither religion would need to be destroyed. As it is, by insisting their books are literal, they are pitting themselves in a very dangerous war against science that could cause serious damage to the societies that are based on their religions, and as a result the rest of the planet.

Religion and science have co-existed since the begin of man. Religion should never shun or be intimidated by science because God created all.
A science-based faith system leaves a lot of questions to be answered, but some of the most brilliant scientist (Hawkins, Sagan, etc) have embraced the concept of intellegent design for our universe. We will never understand God completely, and we should stop trying and accept His greatness.

It already has, but you will never get people to agree. I'll believe in what can be proven. And as far as religion, I don't need to be promised reward or threatened punishment, for being a good person. I can do that without thinking, what is in it for me.

No, the battle isn't between science and religion - it's between good and evil. Science isn't all evil, in fact most of it benefits mankind. Eventually, science and religion will come together, because the source is one - God.

One can only hope... Atheism is on the rise, so there's definately reason to be hopeful!
It would be a fitting end, considering how many religions Christianity, Juahism, and Islam have destroyed, don't ya think?

No, because science will never be able to prove that there is no God. Many Christians believe in evolution, it's possible to believe both.

Science is no closer to proving that there is no God than it was 500 years ago. As a matter of fact science is slowing moving closer to a new earth philosopy. more and more scientist's are going that direction. Even secular scientists.

Current evidence already makes all Abrahamic traditions impossible to reconcile with science. Science cannot force people to believe, however.
