I often hear people say that religion and science are at war with each other. Till now, always accepted this at face value. However, this is wrong--science and religion are not at war with each other--rather, it is religion that is at war with science.
The recent demotion of Pluto from being a full planet, came as a shock to me. It shows the brutal way in which science deals with facts--acknowledges them even though they may cause discomfort to many.
If science were to discover proof of "god", then it would be the staunchest defender of "god". It would elevate god to something that it would defend.
In short, it is not science that is at war with religion. Rather, it is religion that is at war with science.
