Chances are you might share the widespread opinion that the mere number of religions around the world is proof of their poor connection with Truth. All too often each religious path does not even recognize the validity of the others.

Hard sciences get a much higher score in terms of mutual validation of their different fields of research and their cooperation with one another. Physics, chemistry, bology, mathematics, neurology, astronomy, all are known as the various limbs of the same scientific endeavor, each respecting the work of their fellow researcher in another discipline. This is seldom the case in religious circles where, if credit is given to another belief than one’s own, it is not always agreed to be for the glory of the same God. While the various fields of science understand the need to work together for the advancement of human knowledge, religions are often found embroiled in endless battles on basic conceptions of faith. While scientists have reached milestones of progress with the discovery of the atom, and basic laws such as gravity and other foundational theories like big bang and evolution of the species, one religion is still dabbling in obscurantism while another is compromised with violent and coercive attempts to convert the world to their ageless Law.

Hence are Science and Religion comparable? First of all their modus operandi is different --- One is based on investigation, the other on revelation.Science is the acquired knowledge of certain categories of facts, objects, or phenomena that are governed by laws and verified by experimental methods. Religions is a set of beliefs with specific practices and rites defining the relationship between humanity and the sacred.
