I beg your pardon, there is no race here. All
religions were created during the pre-industrial
agricultural civilisation. People who believe in
these religions have "first wave" mentality.
These people have a romantic imagination of how
life was during the "first wave" era. Life was
actually brutal and short.
So there is no race or competition here.
Science is the only viable method.

Science will win the race to explain what the universe is and
where it came from.
No contest really as the competition from the worlds religions
amounts - to believe it or don't be a part of our religion. They
don't really offer any convincing supporting evidence. Not that
I've ever seen, quite the contrary in fact. Compare Genesis to
On The Origin Of Species, no contest.

My new hard-drive recorder doesn't!

That's the thing about science, it's a tool and therefore
has no moral sense of its own. It's us that decide whether
to use for good purposes or bad.

I think going to the moon was one of the good things, what
happened to your sense of wonder and willingness to think
outside the box, break boundaries etc.
I actually think the moon shots were worth it just for the
photos they bought back. Man at his best.
