Bases of power like those in religions tend to attract some nasty characters. Religion and science can coexist completely though, in theory.


Religion and science are like oil and water. One relies on faith to survive, the other thrives on empirical evidence

One tenet of many religions is our ability of free will, to make our own decisions on whatever we see fit to.

On matters religion covers outside the observable universe though, it obviously requires faith beyond evidence, and science can run parallel because of this divide. Science doesn't really care about "outside the observable universe".

But, because there's also so many people that extend this metaphysical reasoning into the physical world, and because the human ego loves being right, we see religions as being adaptively backward.

Adding this due to popular demand. Pretty much falls prey to the immodesty it accuses of others in its criticisms.

Thankfully, theoretical theories of that nature have near no impact on daily life.

If you are aware of the associated shortcomings, fictitious simulations that resemble reality are productive to society imo. Nerdy as hell obv too
