Every Science Has A Father

There is a long and miserable history between science and religion. The religious usually seem to have the short gain by committing acts of superstitiously motivated cruelties against someone for nothing worse than seeing reality. Science can say they suffered on the stake with their brethren from the past.

Science and religion are really on different subjects most of the time and one does not rule out the other. Science is the study of any thing that can be known with the senses. It is materialist and needs proofs.

Religion is a humanity like literature or poetry. It is ethics and moral standards of behavior.

Socrates was killed by religious people and it is hardly ever discussed on that basis. The religion was Greek paganism and the worship of Appollo.
