Science versus religion

My takeaway:

When science and religion clash, science always ultimately wins. Ironically this is because science, unlike religion, contains objective truths. Indeed, the scientific method has proved to be the only path to anything even vaguely approximating objective truth. The problem, of course, is how long the battle takes. Occasionally the battle literally takes centuries. Sigh.

Kind of interesting though...I'd never quite looked at it like that before. For all the fundamentalist decrying of moral relativism, it is precisely religion's lack of objectivity that ultimately damns it when it tries to make assertions about the material world.
