“Science” doesn’t do or advocate anything, it’s just a method. It’s like pitting Religion against Object Oriented Programming (They’re the same picture)
Anyway, great shitpost

I’ve always wondered about this, because not only are they not mutually exclusive, they don’t really fight unless someone really wants to create an issue.
“It turns out the Earth revolves around the Sun, which in turn rotates around a galactic center.”
“But we’ve been teaching that the Earth is the center of the universe. What will we tell people?”
“Well, we all thought it was the center, but it turns out it wasn’t. Does anything in your religion specifically say we’re the center?”
“No…”
“Then I guess we all found out together. Also, why are you even teaching stuff like that? The movement of celestial bodies seems a weird topic to be discussing in church.”

Yeah, the catholic church encouraged the study of the heliocentric idea, right about until Galileo used his scientific papers to directly criticize and mock the pope.

In a way I find pop sciency types that go after religion even worse. Like science doesn’t argue anything about religion, it’s set up to be unprovable - so don’t argue, if it’s not falsifiable it’s not science you’re just grinding a personal axe.
