Most times I have seen religion condemn the work of science. Religion claim that some of the works of science were demonic and thus, not acceptable.
Religion has in time past, rely on indoctrination of believe and not fact. Religion never admits to err or being false. But science agrees to has failed and find new ways of correcting it.
Religion however, has helped people see the need to be morally upright and to believe. It has helped people become accountable or perhaps conscious of their wrong doing to some certain extent. But we can't deny the fact that religion is a political tool that might be used for wars and favours.
But religion leaders believe scienctist has altered the true nature of mankind and destroyed altered creation. If there was no science alot of problems ravaging the world wouldn't have been solved. Science might have failed but it has also made us more sophisticated and intelligent animals on planet earth. Science is the evolution of mankind.
My parents are stunt christains and catholics who uphold every doctrine of the catholic church. My mum would always say; some of that science to some certain extent is demonic because some of it makes people laboratory rats. Until a cousin of her who has been childless for a while came to her amidst tears. My mum recommended IVF to her.
IVF was sin to catholics but it became a breakthrough for so many women who couldn't concieve naturally. Science became the breakthrough we were searching for.
Alot of women has been saved from death during childbearing all thanks to science. Faith in science has redeemed many but religion takes the glory.
Many times the same demons(science) that religion has condemned in some of their research has helped mankind to scale through and understand the happening of their environment called earth.
The truth is that the evolution of science is not mere theory but facts. Unlike religion that's based on doctrines. It's fair to call religion doctrines and books 'fiction' story that has been there just to elevate human beliefs and behavioural standards, nothing more.
Religion opposing the works of science has brought more damage to the world and mankind. Infact it has ruled out logical thinking and salvaged the lives that would have been saved through science. The only condemnation against science is using humans as an experiment to save larger numbers of other humans.
The limitations of religion are vast because it's extort humans and rid them of the ability to think in a more logical way. It limits them from thinking thoroughly with their brains and depending much more on an unseen God. It makes them vulnerable and preys to extortion by their clergymen and those whom they feel has higher frequency of understanding the doctrines and are more in communication with their gods.

These is not to downplaying on the morales that religion has helped mankind to uphold but on the numerous attrocities that religion has abetted on same humans they wants to hold morally upright and in high regards.
Science produced weapons, drugs, medicine, technology to make life easier for mankind. Religion used that same weapon to kill and destroy infrastructures that has been elevated by science.
We can't count numerous of wars that has break out because of blasphemy to the gods of other religions, or lives that has been destroyed because religion has told some of its followers not to yield to the discovery of science.
When we look deeper we would understand that religion and science can cohabit if only religion see science as the miracle it needs so humans can evolve more.
Science is the miracle that has happened to mankind from the time of evolutions.
I'm looking forward to reading about your own opinion about science and religion. Don't forget to drop it on the comments section. Like my post if you agree or disagree.
