Re: Some misunderstandings about religion.
quote:
Religion seeks to explain the universe.
How does religion seek to explain the universe? Some may try to explain the universe from a religious perspective, but I don't see that religion seeks to explain.
Science seeks to understand the universe. One should try to understand before one trys to explain.
Do you feel that religion seeks to understand the universe?
Unfortunately the purpose of a religion is not to explain the universe. Religion deals with reverencing or worshipping a god or the gods not having the answers to questions.

Science can be classified as a religion that worships the five senses.
No it can't.
Using our five senses to understand the world around us is standard operating procedure for humans.
In seeking understanding of the physical world around us, scientists do not worship (bow down) to a deity.
