But none of this criticism of science makes religion even a tiny bit more credible...
In contrast, religion has never been right in its claims about the universe-at least not in a way that all rational people can accept. There is no reliable method to show that the Trinity exists, that God is loving and all-powerful, that we'll meet our dead relatives in the afterlife, or that Brahma created the universe from a golden egg. Lacking a way to show its tenets are wrong, religion cannot show them to be right, even provisionally. (Jerry Coyne)
