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.
