"......and science holds the answer to all questions....."
Our current level of science do not hold the answers to all questions!!
(OP fail)
That is difference between science and religion. Science is humble, clumsy, and woefully inquisitive.
Religions are arrogant, heavy-handed, and over assuming.
Yet science has a better description of reality than religion. Why is that so?
That's not what I've been seeing of how people feel about science lately. They appear to think it's some sort of end all... When truly it is simply a beginning.
My what a broad brush you use to paint all religions.
Are you sure about that last statement? The creation myth has been around for thousands of years and the Hindu's and Buddhists appear to have some interesting thoughts about the nature of the universe.
*****CHUCKLE*****
Concerning Hindu and Buddhism, is any of it verifiable? Anyone can propose a hypothesis, but can they show it is true. Religions don't do this.
1)The hypothesis they form are over-assuming
2)The expectation that you should believe without any proof is arrogance
3)The use of promises of rewards and threats, some religions going so far as to order their follows to harm non-followers, is heavy-handed.
And this is not the only cases where I can talk about religions being arrogant, over-assuming or heavy-handed.
Best to discard blind faith and approach these concepts with skepticism.
On the other hand,
Genesis describes a reality that is demonstrably false. So the creation myth of Genesis is false.
For instance, the firmament is what exactly?
The stars in the sky are what, according to the Genesis?
Genesis talks of the splitting of two great bodies of water. One formed the oceans and the seas, the other is where?
So it does not matter how old a story is. If it is false, then it is false. Age is not an indicator of how true a claim is.
