If you look at the Bible as what it had been. In it's day is was considered science and it was also used as a historical document because the stories in it had to be varified three times, before they could be entered in the text. Now it is considered religion. So if you take a science book nowdays, years from now and look at how many therories were proved wrong and people still believed what it said would the contents of that book become a religion over time?

Since I was 12 I've started questioning things about religion. Maybe even younger than that. Look, people back in the day weren't taught like us in science and other things, so all they can do is believe in religion. And those who are educated either don't believe or believe in fear that when they die they are going to Hell or won't receive the credit for what they have done while living. I think you aren't supposed to question any religion according to their books that represent them. I do consider myself an educated person for my age (I'm 14 years old). Of course the more a person is educated they don't believe in God and religion. Um I'm going to say yes, If there was believe able evidence I would stop. If I weren't brought up to believe God maybe I would try too. And all atheist don't believe in God. Most do it for intelligent reasons and others do it because they are considered sinning to a certain religion and believe they are going to be punished. For example, I gay dude at my school did not believe in God because he knew being gay was against Christianity. Now religion may be unbelievable for some reason but think about if it wasn't on Earth. Most people would have no boundaries. Unless they considered going to jail. And most people wouldn't have hope. People would just go around life having little motive. Well some.

There's no evidence that the stories in the Bible had to be verified even once, nevermind three times before they could be entered into the Bible. More revisionist history? Since most of the Bible has been proven to be false, I would hardly think that it was ever considered science or history. No, science will never be a religion because it is evidential and godless.

All you have to ask yourself is which one is more profitable ? "Religion" which rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars each year on it's own or 'science" which constantly has to be asking the federal government for funding ? DELUSION is a best seller especially if you over exaggerate science to the degree people BUY it. It's why the most popular past times happen to immerse peoples in their own little world of FUN. Religions, drugs, booze, video games, computers, TV, Music, and whatever else gets people interested in everything else but "themselves." It's a BILLIONAIRES paradise to immerse people in everything which isn't real BECAUSE most PEOPLE find reality BORING.......

No. Scientific theories are revised to fit the best evidence on hand. Religion does not. Two totally different approaches to knowing. Apples to oranges, baby, apples to oranges.
Edit: Jeremiah clearly has a sound grasp of what religion and what science are, too. (That was dripping with sarcasm, on the off chance you couldn't tell.)

The theory of evolution is a religion! You have to have blind faith that some fish jumped out of the water and started walking on land instead of dying like a beached whale. Or that some gorilla decided to walk upright and turned himself into a man. There is actually a movement to get science books to label evolution as what it really is - just a theory. So, yes. If the world lasts several hundred more years, I think we'll all look back and call Darwinism the religion it really is.

Yes, the Bible is a historical document because it contains truth about things that happened in the past. True religion includes all truth. So in that sense, science, history, current events, etc. are all religion inasmuch as they are truth.
Religion does not arise out of the Bible. Rather, the Bible is a source that verifies the truths that religion teaches.

The bible is part history, part legend and part make believe. It is very seldom historically correct and not scientifically correct at all.

It depends on how many people believe in it and whether or not they choose to change their beliefs upon descovery that it is false.
