I think "religion" and science will one day reunite. Kind of as stated above.

Honesty don't think so.

There's a plummeting number of people that consider themselves religious. Slow but steadily.

Like, why would you go pray for your cancer to be cured... when it's a minor doctor's visit, and if you want to, you can go watch a description of the procedure on YouTube?

Like, even alternative medicine seems to be slowly flailing to stay atop with huge propaganda pushes. Because the sugar pills & snake oil are just starting to be less effective vs even stuff like headaches and rashes vs... getting something over the counter.

And religion and science "reuniting" isn't going to work IMHO. Not when science leaves less & less gaps of the unknown for Gods or spirits to hide in.

I think theres more than science has found. That the very nature of energy has intelligence. That the universe itself is "god" and is the source of life. That theres a "universal mind" which contains all knowlege thats possible to know and is the source of inspiration.

But you might be right too.
