They say patience is a virtue. One vulture was waiting with its mate and said, "Patience, hell. Lets kill something." I bet it would be terrible being a vulture just waiting for something to die. I bet vultures are cheap dates, though.

Having spent the bulk of my life studying and participating in the sciences I would have to disagree with you.

You make is sound like science is just a bunch of guesses that could be wrong. I personally think that is an extremely naive view to take.

Science dicovered radio waves and how to use an manipulate them. We use radio all the time. Is that nothing a mere speculation?

Ask the Japanese who live in Hiroshima and Nagasaki if the atom bomb was just speculation.

What about nuclear power generators? Are they just speculation too?

I think science has proven itself through technology.

The predictions of Albert Einstein's 'Theory' of Relativity have been proven to be real properties of the universe. Time really does dilate and the effects can be measured. In fact, they are observed to be the case in particle accelerators all the time.

The predictions of quantum mechanics have also been observed to be the true nature of the universe.

Is that mere speculation?

How anyone can compare science with religion is beyond me.

There is nothing in the Bible that has been shown to be true. On the contrary the things that it teaches have been shown to not be true.

Jesus said that anything we ask in prayer and believe we will recieve.

Well there are many people who believe in Jesus and who prayed for droughts to end, or storms to subside or change their course.

It doesn't appear to be working.

Either Jesus lied, or no one knows how to pray properly. It doesn't really matter which explanation you choose to believe, the bottom line is that it hasn't panned out.

I don't see any comparison at all between religion and science.

Science has proven itself. Religion has not.

The difference is pretty vivid if you ask me.

To compare science with religion is truly a joke Skyhook. I'm really surprised that you would even suggest such a thing to be quite honest about it.

Also, science and religion aren't even on the same level.

Science is based on investigation, experiment, evidence, experience, and even the actual measurement or construction of the results.

Religion is based entirely on faith. A belief in things that are fundamentally unprovable.

They aren't even in the same ballpark much less playing the same game.
