Science has actually has predictive qualities and much more useful products. If your religion did not exist then all of our devices would likely still exist. If science did not exist then they certainly would not exist.

I know about science and religion and choose to embrace science and reject religion.

You don't seem to know anything about science.

It's easy to see what you are doing -- you are trying to personalize something that is not a person, in order to point fingers and say, "see, you're worshipping!"

It won't work. I think everybody is pretty much on to you. You need to learn a little before continuing, because clearly you are quite ignorant on the topic of science.

Well in the bible the prophets say to their people, you yourself are a temple to God. If a person puts their faith in God they are a temple of God. If money is their high tower they are a temple of money. So those who trust in science to see them through are a temple of science.

When you say "see them through" in regards to those who trust in science, what are they trusting science to see them through on?

Resurrection from the dead...or whatever science has to offer them in that regard.

Who trusts science to see them through resurrecting from the dead? Are you just making that up? I am not aware of anyone who trusts science in that way. Materialists, for example, don't think anything happens after death.

Eh, It seemed a lot like spreading everything wrong on earth through the whole galaxy. Their whole purpose was to exploit the resources of other planets for the benefit of the Federation,, especially dilithium crystals..which look a lot like diamonds. Greedy authoritrian New World Order in space, with the Vatican secretly running the whole thing.

Nothing strange in it. After all we have a "First Church of Atheism", don't we? Please

Atheism describes belief/lack of belief. Science is a method, not a belief. So, what you say here doesn't make any sense.

Your flow chart is a little off.

After you generate your hypothesis you can either do an observational study or an experiment depending on what you are trying to find out. Not all hypotheses are tested with experiments.

Also science is not about mindlessly following flowcharts, you have to actually think.

One may like to read and understand the following:

“Anyone who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.' It is a quality which scientists cannot dispense with. ... The pure rationalist has no place here.”
