Not only can strongly held religious beliefs not be proven to be correct they can often be proven to be incorrect, of course that fact doesn't make the slightest difference to the devout. Also making no difference to the religious is the fact that religions contradict each other and worse are all riddled with self contradictions, except perhaps for pure Buddhism and Taoism which aren't really religions because they have no dogma and God plays no important part. > > science never provides 100% certainty on any idea, > True, I think. Science is never certain but is usually correct, and that contrasts with religion which is always 100% certain but is almost never correct. > > science can never tell us what course of action is correct. > But religion can and does tell us what is moral, and that's why people burned witches.
