And how is this different from all those who hold the Bible/Koran/Torah as the inalianable truth? Seriously - science, on the whole, admits its' failings, and constantly searches for further proof, and more accurate ways of measuring the universe. The vast majority of theologians do not look at what is happening in the world around them, or look to the future, but rather seek solace and enlightenment in writings which are anything up to 2000 years old. How is this not blinkered?

I lash out wrongly, most times as anger is counter productive, when someone is discourteous to religious people. Why? Most of the
truly religious people of
quality are somewhat meek. I take up for women (suffering physical violence) its basically the same thing.
You say "science, on the whole, admits its' failings, and constantly searches for further proof, and (is a) more accurate ways of measuring the universe."
Yes, Scientific methodology is a great tool and I am in concurrence for keeping it in its full capacity for discovery. It poses no threat to my religion. As far as measuring or describing the universe may I offer this rough analogy?
Science can describe the parts of a clock to me, show me a blueprint of its innards’ , but I may not able to assemble it. If I truly know clock works I could assemble it blindfolded. I think understanding the universe will be similar. And once understood, it will be beautiful.
I feel that it will take both science and religion, which were one and the same in the distant past and will be again, to know the universe , and who or what Intelligence designed it.
