The contributions of the sciences to Religion

One must admit that the sciences have developed a culture of verifying the correctness of everything.
The truthful religion has no fear from it, though.
Like
continuous experiments are needed to verify the correctness of scientific issues in the discipline of science, which belongs to the physical and material realms, these are irrelevant in the discipline of Philosophy and or in Religion, per se. These have their own methods of verification.

The religions who mythical creeds like Christianity and others who worship mythical gods, these will be reformed by the culture of science. This way sciences have played a role and contributed its share to religion. Right ?Please

Please

Evidence would go a long way. You want an open mind in which any claim made by anyone should be treated as fact without cause. This leads to gullibility.
Hmmm....here is some evidence that might open your mind to the reality that ESP is an true aspect of consciousness, a faculty more developed in some people than others.. :)

Secret CIA Tests Found TV Psychic Uri Geller Really Did Have Special Powers

The British TV psychic Uri Geller was much mocked for his claims of paranormal powers. But CIA experiments in 1973 proved his abilities ‘unambiguously.’

Uri Geller failed to demonstrate his abilities when put to a test he could not control. You also fail to realize that the program was cancelled when scientists that didn't have a stake in the program evaluated it and found it wanting. The CIA closed the program as people like Gellar couldn't demonstrate their claims. You source is also just a new paper based on what Gellar claims, nothing more.

He proved to the CIA that he had special powers....and those special powers are generally referred to as ESP. However having ESP capability does not necessarily translate those powers as being efficacious in the black arts of espionage.

If you read the released document, you would have to be awfully ignorant or deranged not to see that Uri exhibited ESP..

Ye the program was shutdown to a lack of demonstrated abilities. Like I said you are listening to a fairy tale for a debunked con.

Irrelevant as Puthoff and Targ's methods were shown to be lacking, biased, lacking control and unrepeatable. Nevermind that he was exposed during the project by Marks and Kammann.

You believe a con artist, nothing more

The CIA and all intelligence agencies know about ESP and take it seriously, after all even cats and dogs exhibit it, if you think that is not the case, then I will leave you to your ignorance. However I will grant you that there are a lot of con artists (and suckers who fall for it) out there that have little to do with real ESP, but with deception. The CIA and all intelligence agencies indulge in this activity too (as well as the entertainment industry), so there are shades of grey, but that does not negate the reality of ESP.
