I’ve been calling science a religion for years,
I upvoted this due to the fact that science in a sense is theology.
Theology means what one believes about a god.
In science, it’s taught that we evolved, yet it doesn’t answer every question, there’s still so much unknown, but either way it gives people the option of whether or not to believe a god exist or not, it’s their belief about whether there is or is not is theology.
I personally believe in God, and as you rightly wrote, one has to study and analyze the facts not just what their told.
Much can be learned from actually reading and studying the word of God. Or you can sit back and be told about the subject and believe not.
With that said, science has given us so much, and without a doubt will continue to do so.
