If a religion answers, with an air of claiming it is a definitive answer; then it is not a religion, but a fraud. The religion is just the faith that there is a rational, intelligible, answer, but it will never claim to have it, except under the form of a theory to be tested. Of course, most institutionalised religions *are* fraud, since a long time. They are just tools to give power to a tyran by exploiting the childhood nostalgia of having a “Father”, and the fear of death, etc. They hide the scientific theology which brought doubts on all theories, and by this way, on all tyran’s pretensions. Making theology back in science is just allowing doubts and critics in the fundamental science, but today, some scientists are (consciously? Unconsciously) religious by mocking those who doubt the last theology in fashion (materialism). The problem is that by mocking any science, it let the science in the hand of the charlatans of the intistutionalised religion, and no progress are possible, except secretly by the dissidents or the courageous people. Religion is the assumption of meaning. Science is the mean top make it clearer and testable so that we can improve the fundamental research. Both Mechanism and Quantum Mechanics illustrates the difficulties of the Materialist Metaphysics/Religion. Bruno > > > Lets see the making is work part first. > > Yes indeed!
