Where science does contradict religion its very easy to conclude, if you're religious and have a clue that there are some things people just can't grasp about a world they've never seen. ****, people were impressed with Hippos since they were discovered until extremely late into modern zoological expeditions. Silverback/Lowland gorillas are in the same boat.

Where religion unravels for me is its own failure to be honest with themselves, put more emphasis on the message rather than the peripheral garbage. People tend to like what Jesus was for - which is the point. Not what people have ascribed to his theories which is what causes problems.
