Beyond Belief

The conference on "Science vs. Religion" could have been a seminar entitled "Science is flawed. Religion is solid. The first speaker went to great lengths to quote important historical figures to prove his point. "Science deals with facts but Religion deals with values." Ergo, if you don't have blind faith in faith, you don't have values? The speakers documented time and time that science has been "wrong" in the past. After all, didn't scientists at one time believe the earth was flat?
No one, however, pointed out that science, like knowledge, evolves as we learn new information and have better technology to support any findings. Prior to 1804, there was no proof or knowledge that a waterway existed connecting the new America to the Pacific Ocean. But we learned that after Lewis and Clark discovered one (via the Missouri river) and mapped the route, there was in fact a way.
