Religio, can be defined as linking backwards or a reverence for what has come to pass.
Biology shows us that the cells that comprise our bodies have been shielded from harsh environments and nourished for eons. Anyone who has tried to culture mammalian cells outside the body knows how difficult this is. Isn't this a more reverent view of life, than the idea that some god just made everything?

Biologist may be scientific fundamentalists, if there is such a thing. I don't believe you can compare understanding how our biological systems work as a religion. One does not have to have a belief in a deity (religion) to be a biologist.

I've cultured human cells in petri dishes. It was easy. I have a hard time growing plants, but culturing human tissue in an incubator was a piece of cake.
Are biologists religious? Some are, but religious fundamentalism isn't the same as science. I'm sure the biologists might have a "reverence" for life, but do they worship the amoeba? I doubt it.

Um, no? Yea. That's my answer.
Also, my cells never prevented me from getting a harsh sun-burn. Just a thought.

what?
religion is a system of rituals and dogma surrounding deity(ies). Conservatism is a reverence for the past.

Sorry no. But a biologist can be religious.
