Religion and science are indeed two different directions. science is rooted in reason and religion in faith. Faith is questioned and proved false as history evidences it. Right from Copernicus to Darwin there have been arguments and clashed between these two ways.
Indeed it is religion that has to surrender. Now few religionists believe that the earth is the center of the universe. Some religionists even believe in the theory of evolution respecting creation.
I often wish for a scientific religion not for a religious science. Christian science is often used in the US. Religious theories can be modified and acclimated to scientific theories.
Indeed we need a superstition / dogma free religion and this can be arrived at only through amalgamation of scientific theories and religious attributes?
