I mean Scientists and Preachers arent perfect... so I mean what if they got it wrong?

Pretty high chances that both sides are wrong I believe.
If a definition of faith or intelligence is the ability to PREDICT what will happen in future, then scientists and preachers are even more likely to have got it wrong.
The next question is then 'What are the chances that both sides can ever get it right?'
That depends on whether you use the same criteria. Or is simply 'being' good enough?

Hi!
It saddens me that people often assume that faith and science are opponents or that one is right and the other is wrong. Both have only come so far because they have been fellow journeymen. It was a Jesuit Priest who came up with the Big Bang theory; Einstein said that imagination was more important than knowledge; a Muslim who invented the Camera Obscura and set us on the road to photography and television.
I know many people who are both scientists and followers of a faith. It has been said that when the scientists reach the top of the mountain, the rabbi's, imams and priests will be sat there waiting for them - though the reverse could equally be true.
My friend, only people of limited science and limited faith see two schools. In my view, your question invites us to start out from a false premise.
Good wishes.

They have and still are wrong that is why we keep coming back here to this earthly plane reincarnating again and again.
Once we get on the other side we are all knowing, we then see the mistakes going on and say "Hey I can fix that, let me go back and prove it!"
Then we get here and it's so physical in existence and we've lost our spiritual awarenesses from the physical questing that we forget why we came here in the first place!
Looks like they're not the only ones getting it wrong- see?

Of course you are talking about the Islamic Fundamentalists on one side who claim they are right and the Fundamentalist Christians on the other who claim that THEY are right? Right? Yep, I'd say pretty much both sides are wrong.
The real problem is however, that as this conflict plays out on the world stage, many innocent bystanders will be killed in the name of one religion or the other and that will happen on BOTH sides!

Well considering that there are hundreds of different religions and sects, not to mention a ton of scientific theories, you don't have to be a statistician to figure out that somebody probably got it wrong.

There are more than 2 sides.
Personally I don't think anyone is completely right when it comes to religion.

My personal belief is that "both sides" are right. Whatever a person believes in their heart is very much true, even if only to them.

Science makes no assumptions about being wrong or right, it makes hypotheses and tests them. Religion assumes that itself is correct and deters any questioning.
