This is true.
Sadly, though, this concept is truly more frieghtening than the two being separate because it will bring us to a closer understanding of our reality- and reality can be a scary place.
Science, as it is right now, is merely a means to a more convenient, short existence.
Ricky's tweet is smug and provocative- that's schtick.
Science hasn't really crossed the LINE yet- will it, can it, who knows?
Science may eventually render the planet uninhabitable- which is something you can't say about religion.
Meanwhile, religion (which really should be called theocracy), is the source of a great deal of tension and division between people.
Religion itself is noble.
Theocracy is just divine politics- and politics- well, you know how that goes.
