The fundamental similarity between science and religion is that both are based on faith. Both are irrelavant at times.

With the exception of science, which is not.

I read about this in the paper. I really didn't like how they reported it though. It was pretty sensationalist, but that's what sells papers right?

I gotta get me a subscription to Science.
