It would be oh so great if the religious actually realized how fragile their religion was. That’s one of the first steps toward discarding religion. Unfortunately, a religious person can have a lot of their religion whittled away, yet they’ll cling fervently to what’s left.
What people don’t understand is that Science is a type of Religion.With science there are a lot of theory but very little truth same with Religion, with science, Scientist play a guessing game with how old the earth is and Religion they try to guess how old God is… Who cares…. and as for science and religion man is stupid we dont know enough about our world now they want to go to another planet i believe in God but that was a funny comic
@GanjaGuy: Science is not a religion, but religions try to pretend to be like a science – in fact many claim religion is “another way of knowing”. Theories are very well tested, and many have awesome powers of prediction which allow us to control nature like no other past civilization. Religions do not have anything to offer on how to understand the world around, and many are counterproductive. Even the religious claim to be “another way of knowing” has no testable merit to it. Any claims in science however are there to be tested – there is no apriori reason to believe, you must challenge claims and see for yourself if there is any merit to them. This is why the Royal Society took the motto “Nulla in verba” when it was established over 300 years ago. “Nothing in words” – even figures of authority are not to be believed, their claims must be tested. Religion is the opposite: Do not question, do not test, only believe.

Correction it should be; Science: 1,000,000 Religion: 0.5
But otherwise your dead on, I love these comics.

Why the 0.5? You’re too generous.
