    Joseph Carl's following response is the only one that seems to have fully understood my OP .

    Good science definitely yields more consensus than religion because it's readily accepted as truth - such as the existence of gravity or other scientific laws of nature that are proven with complete certainty. I would expect that over 99% of mentally competent people in the world believe in gravity, whereas we could never get such consensus with any religion.

    • There are supernatural beings.
    • The material universe will pass away, while the spiritual goes on forever.
    • Science is totally wrong if it is based in the flesh/temporal/false ideas like covid.
    • The after life is only for those with faith. Without faith it is impossible to please the Creator.
    • Whoever wants anything from the Creator must
    • believe that He Exists and that He REWARDS (with life, etc) those who seek after Him with all their heart.
    • True though - (one right now, so far) - there is no reincarnation.
    • It does not matter if human beings can live ethical or fulfilling lives without religious beliefs.
    • It does not matter if human beings derive their moral code from the lessons of history, personal experience, and thought.
    Do you still believe there is a lot of false-bad religion, and false-bad science confusing everyone (or most people)?

    That the false-bad science and false-bad religion is dominating over God's truth? (i.e. more people are misled than not?)

    Fifteen Trillion Dollars Went a long way to getting most of the world to just "go along".
    Lon has passed, yet his questions /posts may yet be helpful.
    Simple, yes.
