In the debate between religion and science—religion wins because it has an ethical framework (10 Commandments etc..) It has been misused but always in the face of opposition. Science has no over-riding ethical structure. Should scientist have built the Atomic Bomb? German scientist didn’t build one for Hitler. Allied scientists built one for the US and used it to fry to Japanese cities—Not military bases, not a naval base, not a battlefield—civilians. Science is being misused in China to control their population. No, religion, like it or not, is needed.
Good answer
