Ohhhh. It all makes sense now.
The thing is I would be unsurprised if anyone thought something like that. Especially after the "water canopy"!
I didnt make it up.
I could supply the source.

Please do. I don't doubt you, but it will make amusing reading.I didnt make it up.

No, but it does need to align itself with reality as we know it, or it is nothing more than an invitation to insanity. Our knowledge of physical function is incomplete and often inaccurate, but it's all we have to our advantage. To ignore it would be both foolish and dangerous. On the other hand, to presume it's all there is to know, or all we need to know, is equally foolish and dangerous.Does Religion have to justify itself to science?

Examples of most science thst changed?Religion has to justify itself to truth, as does Science...
Eventually both are adjusted to comply with reality.
They both have a long way to go in balancing fact with belief.
Eventually they will match.
Most of the Science I was taught as a boy has now been corrected, some of it a number of times. however most of the basic principals have withstood the test of time and further research.
The positions of the various churches on numerous issues have also changed.
In that time the Church going population of the UK has massively reduced with thousands of churches closed and with now a fraction of the number of priests. Many people show a marked change to their religious beliefs.
Belief in religion and and reliance on science are not directly related, but one clearly influences the other in peoples minds.
It is very damaging to a religion to deny well established science.

In the late 40's science as taught was very different to today. Organic chemistry was largely a mystery. So was very difficult to understand. Light was taught as wave theory. Photons thought known about, were not fully accepted.
Atomic theory was largely outside the text books. And particle theory was not taught.
Every thing to do with computers was in the future. As were transistors that made modern life possible.
And of 'scientism'; both equally foolish and dangerous.Yes, the grim spectre of religionism
so prevalent in these pages.

The geological evidence falsifies the claim....
There aren't enough water molecules.
... the existence of polar ice
to disprove "flood" , ...
How would it disprove the flood?
You are incorrect.That claim is based on false assumption that is not based on the Bible
Your loaded assertion is rejected,nor to the situation that was when the flood happened.
IMO, yes.Does Religion have to justify itself to science?
Get too much of that and youve a nationalIMO, yes.
Science is the attempt to ascertain truths objectively, thus if one is in a religion that negates objectively derived evidence then, imo, it is likely bogus. I left the Christian denomination that I grew up in because of its anti-science position especially on the ToE, eventually converting to one that accepted basic science.
