People are taught religion and people are taught science. It's not possible to determine how much of religion is fact and how much is embellishment but science contradicts religion in some cases. When it does, science is the determinate but science doesn't disprove all of religion, just parts.Philosophy Explorer wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 10:20 am Why do so many believe in religion which lacks physical evidence while many reject science which does have physical evidence?

Science can be wrong in some cases and when it is, people can be mislead into accepting a wrong concept. Space-time is a wrong concept that many people accept.
Hans Christian Anderson wrote "The Emperor's New Clothes" which says that people will follow the crowd even when the crowd is clearly wrong.
Even when the skeptic is right, he is most often unheeded.
