Science is about physical matters and facts. whereas beliefs are questionable theosophical ideas that belong - essentially - in church.

I like the way Mark Twain viewed the concept of God. He wrote: "The Being to me who is the real God is the One who created this majestic universe and rules it. He is the only originator, the only originator of thoughts, thoughts suggested from within, not from without ... He is the only creator. He is the perfect artisan, the perfect artist.

Agree with the first, but not the second.

At its best our religion, more than any other idea or belief, expresses the best that we are, and hope for.
It is a powerful motivator, protector, prioritizer and "users' manual" for the human soul.
In good times it guides toward a full life, in terrible times it comforts our afflictions.

Indeed, most people easily recognize that the very best among us are those who do not leave their religion in church, but take their faith whereever they go.

Happy Thanksgiving, FRiend!

.
Yes, but evolution and global warming are in no way related to science. They are religion, and politics masquerading as science for the less aware.
