| When you get right down to it, science and religion serve the same purpose; they attempt to explain the unknown. The reason for this whole debate is to try and get the other person to subscribe to their own theory, because they feel that the theory they believe in is superior. Science uses math, experimentation and observation; religion uses stories, parables and faith. It is basically two routes to the same truth: we are afraid of the unknown, and therefore we attempt to explain it.
A side note: Yes, I know that most of what I just said sounds alot like what is said in the book Angels and Demons, but that part of the book at least is true to life.
I know your type. You think, "I'll just get me a costume, rip off the neighborhood kids." Next thing you know, you've got a jet shaped like a skull with lasers on the front!
