At the beginning, religion created the best answers to help people "understand". Now, as humanity learns more and more about how things truly work, the old explanations provided via religion are shown as less and less accurate, and more and more comical. Man's understanding of the universe and our place in it will continue to deepen. This will not be fast, as technologies necessary for more complete understanding have yet to be discovered/developed. But over time, religion will definitely continue to fall out of favor until it is eventually relegated to a historical reference. And to top it off, we may eventually find a creator or source for everything...but you can be sure it will not be a vengeful, judgmental supreme being.
Just out of curiosity, what are some of the things that are explained in the bible, that science has shown are wrong?
Second question; should i assume that you are in the corner of those that believe everything that is in place, and necessary, for this Universe and this planet to work and maintain stability, is a result of a bunch of random events that just luckily happened in our favor--and originally came from nothing?
