With religion, the truth is difficult and elusive. It is always there tempting us, but always out of reach. With science, the truth is at our fingertips. We can access it now, when we want it. If want to discover that our concept of time is skewed, I can go outside and discover it for myself with my own eyes.
Science is easy and fast, offering results by the minute.
Religion is not nearly as slick and streamlined. We are in control of our fate. The earth is but one of many planets orbiting just another routine star in our galaxy. The eight other planets also follow elliptical orbits as well as rotating on their respective axes. Every planet in our solar system follows the same set of rules, but with different results.
