Religion, our Catholic religion and others, are based on the Ten Commandments. All civil laws, world over, are based on the Ten Commandments. Where does science stand? If you have ever studied the bare basics of it, science is also based on the Ten Commandments, especially the first one, for He is the Creator of substance, hence science.

You see, those who know science, know God as He is, those who do not know science need longer tution to learn to formulate a god of their own and they need various gods, as The Sun god, Zeus, Mithra, Allah, Jahweh, Agunua,Alululi,Bunjil,Daramulun,Gidja,Julunggul, Galeru, Ungur, Adsagsama, Aerfaen,Agona. Aibell, Aimend, Aine, Airmed,Anann, Ancamna, Balaji, Murugun, Ayyappan. Ganesha, Saraswati. Lakshumi. Parvati, Durga, Shiva, Vishmu, Krishna and a few thousand more to fit the culture and traditions like langages and national dresses often do.

Hellooooo guys commenting below - not sure if 'sarcasm' is taught in religion or science but I think that is what Olga is using in her letter.

I'm sorry, Olga, but I think you've got things the wrong way round there.

Science 'teaches' that which it can prove, whereas religion can merely speculate and hope. Science leads the way forward from what we know today, whereas religion looks back into the past for the imagined wisdom of our ancestors whom, science has proven, knew less than we do.

The Church fears scientific discovery and the exposure of long-believed myths because it fears losing its control of the masses, and in that respect it has barely moved forward since the times of Copernicus and Gallileo. The experiences of those two distinguished and wrongly persecuted men provide more than enough reasons why our children should be taught more science and receive less religious brainwashing.

Children do not need to be force-fed a diet of fear and guilt in order to learn right from wrong, and how to live honestly and peacefully, nor do they need exposing to the darker side of organised religion. When they are old enough and educated enough to understand the facts, then they can choose to bring religion into their lives, if they so wish.... By then they will be used to people asking them for money.

When you are sick or injured, do you go to a doctor or a priest?
If you want to fix your car do you go to a mechanic or a convent?

Dear Olga,
if you think that science is boring, ask your government in the US to issue you a refund on your taxes,
because your education system has failed you.

Religion doesn't teach about the afterlife. Religion makes stuff up about the afterlife and then teaches that as truth without any evidence.

Science teaches us to look at the reality we live in and resist ideas without sufficient evidence.
