I agree with you completely when you say that science is in itself a belief. You are very right about not knowing where the energy comes from to make the big bang theory, for example. I just wanted to add that, in my opinion, it doesn’t have to be religion or science…it can be both. For example, in my religion of Islam, science is embedded within the religion. Our holy book contains many miracles that science has only just discovered but at the time the holy book was revealed to humans, people didn’t know. In our holy book, The Quran, it talks about how a human being is made from a cell which forms into a clot which multiplies in cells forming tissues, which eventually form flesh and bones to give limbs which give rise to the human being. It may seem like common knowledge now but at the time of Islam, nearly 1400 years, they didn’t have that information and science didn’t discover that until very recently. Another interesting fact in the Quran is that it says every being on earth needs water to survive and that humans are made from mostly water and clay. The people of Islam didn’t know that 1400 years. And science only discovered that not too long ago. In a way, the more one learns about science, the more belief they will have in religion.
