No two people think the same.....

You’re going to get me!
No two people think the same,
Hence either proof, or belief, of concept is required.
Enter Science & Religion,
Your doors have been opened!
Will the day come when all has been proven?
Will proof of the old belief blossom?

A better question is why no two people think the same?

Not sure what you're on about mate, are you expecting science to validate religious beliefs? If so, dream on I say, that ain't going to happen. Religion seeks to turn people into clones, it doesn't like free thinkers. I was in town today, and suddenly found myself in the midst of people dressed formally, like they were part of a business conference. I saw they were all wearing "Don't Give Up!" name badges, I immediately suspected religion; what else would make people dress like stiffs on a Sunday afternoon? Sure enough, a quick Google search informed me they were a JW conference, talk about conformist thinking, you'll find more imagination and creativity in a bowl of porridge.

The question you should be asking is "why do people seek to conform rather than think for themselves?". I live in a world where education is literally free, I'd love to know why many people seek to align with a set of beliefs rather than think it through themselves. I've checked myself out, I definitely know I'm not super intelligent, this thing isn't really that hard! Think for yourselves people!:D

There a lots of cosmological facts in religion which can be confirmed by science - and the rest in religion deals with metaphysics - just like most in modern cosmology.

That old chestnut? By virtue of the fact that religion includes observation of nature to at least some extent, there are bits and pieces that will be confirmed by science. Will religion ever reveal anything new though? No. Does it get many things wrong about the "natural world"? Yes.
Still, if you get something out of it in personal terms, and you don't shove it down other people's throats fine. A "natural philosopher" sounds pretty gentle, so I don't think I would have a quarrel with you; I don't imagine there is an extremist wing!;)

It's a poem, it's art.

The question is, what does it mean to you and why?
That is the beauty of a well versed poem.
