Quote:Religion is a stylised form of fanaticism, a specialised subset of fanaticism itself, which is simply a human trait, nothing more. And there are no doubt fanatical scientists, but to say that all zeal is synonymous with religion? I don't agree at all. You can be enthusiastic and objective simultaneously, unless you are an amoeba.

Quote:I don't know about connections between science and religion (besides them both being human inventions), but I do know this
Quote:If you could place two tribes on two separate islands, set their technology back to stone-age, and let them live separately for 10,000 years, chances are pretty slim that both tribes would come out saying "Hallelujah, praise Jesus."
Quote:Chances are, however, that both tribes would have invented the wheel, thought up Pythagoras', come up with Maxwell's laws, Newton's differentials, maybe even theories of relativity and astro-physics.
Quote:Religion is invented (by god or man is up to the reader to vote on), and taught. Science is discovered and understood.
