Past sun/nature worship, the earliest insights of our main religions came from adepts trying to describe their intuitive grasp of science (before there was any such thing), i.e. the intersection of psychology and physics, being and reality, mind and matter. They observed the relationship between 'authentic' being and the learned ego identity and how our miraculous (we now know- multi-dimensional) reality responded to the contents of consciousness. Science still hasn't caught up, but then most believers today might as well have stuck with worshipping the sun.

As usual, Cubbi gave you an excellent critique. We have no record that Jesus ever wrote anything. We don't even have anything we know to be a direct record of anything Jesus said. If there were collections (as some suggest) of "Sayings of Jesus", none survive today. If you attend good schools, you should get a reasonably good understanding of science and how it works. But to understand the other side of your proposed dichotomy, study the history of religion. The Teaching Company has produced some excellent courses on the subject. See if you can find them at your libraries. That will give you a much better understanding of religious thought than will indoctrination by any single modern religion. The very idea of an afterlife seems to be a relatively recent (and not universal) idea. It was a big part of ancient Egyptian religion, but didn't appear in Judaism until some of the prophets. For many Eastern modes of mystical thought, the concept isn't even a meaningful part of their view of reality. By definition, the supernatural is immune to the scientific tools of the natural world. Nevertheless, it is meaningful to ask of anyone who makes a religious-based claim how they know this claim is true. The most common answer: "That's how I was taught," or deference to some sacred text. How do you know that teaching or that text is correct, and all the others in the world are wrong?

The first part of question is correct, but with a twist. The term "religion " is a lable man has put on the different kinds of study of, what they want to believe. Being a christian refers to God Almighty and the Holy Bible. Science without christianity is lame. You can trust me on this.
God Bless You and take care.

i would say no, both working together can build each other up, but there is no reason to use negatives to refer to them singularly
science is not lame, religion is not blind, they can stand on their own, without the other
also, its not religion thats really important, but spirituality,
