    This is a brilliant example of anecdotal example, which has no statistical value. I’m sure your dad is a great person.

      It’s a single example that disproves the hypothesis “science and religion must always oppose”. Only one example is needed, in the same way that the Riemann hypothesis only needs a single zero off the critical line to prove it’s false.

        Lol, no. I’m talking of a general trend of the religious establishment against innovation and understanding.

        Edit: Also i never said “science and religion must always oppose”. I said religion is against science. The hate is mostly unidirectional as science has mostly just indifference towards religion.
