we all know religion is the result of early humans not knowing how to explain why things happen the way they happen or why things are the way they are..
This is not only a self contradictory statement, fallacious, ignorant, and misplaced, but it also asserts that we all are in agreement that modern knowledge is complete. Please note that as long as there shall remain knowledge beyond probe, man shall remain religious.
what i'm trying to say here is that religion is basically based on assumptions whereby science is based on facts.
Science assumes that religion is based on assumptions since it cannot set an experiment to ratify it as a fact. Science as a discipline is the leading branch of knowledge that bases its reasoning on assumptions, set to verify those assumptions, empirically tabulate data got which are dependent on the initial assumptions, make inferences based on the data, then assumes that the inferred concept is a fact.
Science assumes that all that man can comprehend and intuinate by use of five senses, that all that can be inferred from material (matter based) instruments, and that all perceivable via scientific methods are all that is.
Science is ALSO based on assumptions
You surely took a closer look at that cover in order to judge that book; that's what covers are meant for anyway!
