Isn't the goal of science (and religion) to find out the truth, which cannot be questioned?

Well, a conclusion reached by certain scientists is always questioned by other scientists, therefore leaving no place for absolutes, at the opposite of religion. Isn't it one of science's high points, to always question itself ?

How can we be sure that we're not being lead to a wrong conclusion?

If the path leading to the conclusion is documented in a detailed way, why should'nt we?

Yes, can we rely on the results of such experiments?

Observations, mathematical equations, experiments and the like, no?

Is this a trick question?
Scientific facts are based on calculations and observations and religious facts are based on interpretations of history, are they not?

Are scientific facts more reliable than religious facts?

Perhaps because one relies on facts and speculations and the other relies on faith and speculations?

I don't belive it should be.
Some religious beliefs can be supported or shown clearer through science.
What is the best feeling ever?

Why should religion be separated from science?

Is it the same difference that separates religion from science?

If it doesn't, what's the difference between believing in something and accepting it as a possibility?

Why would it recquire such a thing ?

Does believing require an absolute certitude?

Where exactly do Heaven and Hell exist? In a different dimension, maybe?
