Science (the study and understanding of the creation) and religion (the study and understanding of the creator) are not in conflict they have been parallel avenues of intellectual pursuit for centuries.
Holmes, you live in a 13th century world. Science has been disproving myths for centuries. Evolution even gave us a way to explain morality and neuroscience is explaining the waves in our brain that lead to religious thinking. I agree that story telling has a power to reach those brain waves in a way that linear descriptions of chemical reactions do not, but that includes all story telling, and it means you know you are hearing a story. If religion stayed out of the business of claiming things are true without evidence, I’d agree with you, but religion has to stay in it’s lane if you are going say it is “parallel”.
