History & Science together proving religion wrong!

Science cannot disprove the existence of a supernatural deity (science by definition only deals with naturalistic phenomena). However, science can disprove (ie. beyond all reasonable doubt) the existence of supernatural deities with specific properties.

For instance, the common myth about a deity who pulls the Sun around the Earth with a chariot in various Celtic/Hindu myths can and has been disproved with science, as has the concept of a deity which creates humans as they are from the beginning, without the process of Evolution.

That does not mean there is no God, simply that the traits attributed to a particular deity are false.

And Science tends to be Arrogant - wanting ppl to believe that Scientists know the answers to everything when all they have are theories based upon hypothesis which are continously subject to change.

It is simply the confidence/arrogance of Scientists which has confused many ppl in the present day into believing that science has all the answers.

Science isn't arrogant, people are arrogant. Arrogance is a trait which occurs in all types of people, whether they're imams or scientists.

Science most certainly does not claim to know everything, or even a tiny fraction. No scientific theory is ever considered 100% proven. That can only happen in mathematics and maybe logic. Science mainly deals with evidence.

We're aware of the force called gravity, and even if we do not completely understand how it works, we try to improve on our knowledge of it, and find every flaw in it in order to make the theory more accurate.

That's why we have peer-review.

If we chose just to leave it at that, all the Christians would refrain from using any medicine and just pray, as the Bible says illnesses are cause by evil spirits.

If people today think science have all the answers, then they had best go to the science department of their local college and get themselves educated on just how much science has yet to understand.
