I'm all for Technology, but Science, as in the theory of the big bang and the theory of evolution, looks to me like modern day religions.
There s truth to this but there are major differences. The main one is that religion is an argument from authority. The only way to accept it is through faith. Science, on the other hand, is an argument from evidence. Once you see that A+B consistently equals C you can accept it as truth. From this foundation you can move on to big bangs and such. It may not be completely accurate but at least you have a reason to believe it.
