I guess I'll be the first person to make an actual point.
Science: You can watch it happen and know, yes, this is true.
Religion: I think this is what happens, but really I have no idea if this is true I just like to think it is.
I'd personally rather know something for sure than to think it's true. I see religion as a stick in the spokes of the bike that is Science. Every time science disproves something that people have believed for years, there's a huge uproar that it's not true, and every single time it turns out to be true. People still don't believe in evolution. You can watch evolution in a laboratory. You can watch it in your body. When you're prescribed antibiotics, you're supposed to take them for the full length even if you feel better. This is because if the antibiotic kills all but the strongest, when they repopulate your body the antibiotic will be MUCH less effective.
People that don't believe in the big bang: astronomers can SEE it. Using scanning technology, remnants of the big bang can be detected. Aside from this, all of space is moving away from a central point. The only time you ever see this is with an explosion, otherwise gravity would keep everything in perfect orbit.
There's a million other points that work, but this is really just how I see it. I don't need a god for anything. The only benefit I would get out of believing in a god, if there is a god, is going to heaven. Which I don't want anyway. How boring would that stuff be? No bad stuff, ever? You'd be bored out of your mind. forget heaven. I hope when you die, you just die.
