What is wrong with saying that science is a religion?
Nothing at all! As someone already noted, cats are dogs, so why can't science be religion! I really think you're on to something! Why can't my bike be considered a car? Why can't my storage shed be considered a house? Why can't all my scribblings be considered great literature? Why can't words mean whatever we want them to mean?
Obviously, the people who involve themselves with science are trying to avoid religion.
Exactly, and never mind Francis Collins, evangelical Christian and head of the Human Genome Project, or Nobel prize winner in physics and protestant Christian Charles Townes, or any of the countless other scientists and believers in God. I'm with you, brother. On the road to salvation we must trample all opposing facts beneath our boots.
As for your statement that scientist are not all godless, why is it that Evolution is completely undisputed among the scientist.
Yes, we must condemn Godless evolution. And Godless physics, Godless geology, Godless chemistry, Godless biology, Godless cosmology, Godless plumbing, Godless sports, Godless car dealerships, Godless doorknobs...

You don’t think gravity is made up. Did you ever see "the force" between to objects with your own eyes? Scientists have made up quite a few things.
Right on, brother! I'm with you!
You know those electron things that supposedly flow through wires? Yep, that's right, made up!
The NASA moon landing? Yep, made up!
Magnetism? Yep, that too!
Light refracting when passing through glass? Yep, more nonsense! Throw those glasses away!
Distant galaxies billions of light years away? Yep, more lies!
Penicillin, schenicillin. More useless rubbish!
I mean, it just goes on and on and on. We did the right thing with Giordano Bruno, just not on a big enough scale and not recently enough. Lead on brother!

It is obvious that one can not truly believe in his religion and firmly believe in science.
Amen, brother! Those whose minds are shackled by the bonds of science must free themselves and let their minds soar with the holy spirit. They must cast off their worship of false idols like gravity, electromagnetism, wave/particle duality and slinkies and worship the one, true God. There can be no room in one's soul for both science and religion. Shout it out, brother! Hallelujah!
