Do you think faith-based beliefs have a benefit even if they do not interfere with areas where evidence-based science is making strides for us? To me, having faith in things you cannot see or prove is very dubious, yet lots of people carry on about extra-dimensional aliens, angels, ghosts and so on.
Even a religion that didn't try to teach creationism but instead talked about morals, do you think that would be enough reason to have these kinds of places around?
Science and evidence are all about What we can physicslly go there to experiment and gather the evidence. This Will automatically exclude the following.
the past
the future
things not.lying in our space and time
theres No evidence about What you ate a week ago. The only way we can know what ate is that.you or a witness tell us and for us to believe with faith. This is about the past. As for.the.future, we humans have no way to.tell What could possibly lying ahead. Again the only possibility that.we have a chance to reach This is that in case a God exist and tells a witness and.for us.to.believe with faith.
