You cannot compare religion and science. They are fundamentally different philosophies. Hence if someone tries to force one into the other they get garbeld garbage.
Science is the belief that what we observe with our five senses is reality. That’s the belief system. It’s based on a universal experience.
Remove that, and anything goes. Any religion has equal weight. With the exception that, for some reason, religious people believe the religion of their parents.
They often try to mold philosophy into their religion (what it means to be good) using some semblance of logic, but then inevitably tells you what happens in the afterlife.
Eh, science is more of a process than a belief system. You can use science to support or deny certain belief systems.
“I believe humans are fundamentally good”
Okay let’s use psychology and philosophy to determine if that’s true.
“I believe the earth is flat”
Okay let’s use geology, astronomy, and physics to determine if that is true.
Also there are plenty of things that are part of reality which we can’t observe with our “five senses”, it’s why we need to measure the effects and see the recordings instead.
We use 5 senses to measure and see the recording. The “process” of science is based completely around our observations (including measurement). Any evidence is defined a information gathered using our senses.
We reason and conclude based on those observations. Any fact or law is an observation using the senses.
But we have to first assume/believe that our observations are real and that we aren’t plugged into a computer being used as batteries (Matrix trilogy is philosophy 101). Religion abandons that belief or supplements it with supernatural
