Of course science is closer.
Just look around you everything you use daily is based on science.
Now tell me what is religion good for?

Religion is good for your soul and for society!
Did you see the Katrina hurricane?

Mate materialism is not a religion. It has no god.
A religion must have a god, doesn't it?

i think that science is just another method of examining and explaining the world around us. And i truly consider science as just another religion, such as Christianity or Islam.

Science is the bottom up view of the world, whereas Religion is the top down view.

If truth is the object of both, then their views will not be inconsistent.

Science can never know if it is true, it is arrived at by induction.

Religion claims it is true, its claims can be verified by deduction.

Mr · Paris Forum Guest

I would have thought that scientific analysis was deductive. Science's claims are modest, it would seem, when compared to the promises of religion.

Nidle · Paris Forum Guest

Science is inductive because it generalizes from partial evidence. Religion assumes its basic premises and uses theology to argue deductively. Science claims that it is self-correcting while religion claims it is infallible from the get-go.

Science gives knowliges based on reasones, wheres religion gives absolute truth. Science and religion are opposite to one another.

Religion is an opium for the masses, it was invented to keep people in control by ruler class.

Absolute truth is when you don't have the luxury of doubt. Cool
