Science is fundamentally different than religion because nothing is regarded as divine indisputable knowledge. Science does not rely on ancient men claiming to speak for god; science relies on empirical evidence and reason. Christian fundamentalists believe that every word in the Bible must be taken literally such as Genesis. No atheist believes that everything Charles Darwin wrote cannot be challenged. No one thinks of him as a divine prophet and the philosophical foundation of science dictates that evidence trumps any kind of human authority. It is not who is right but what is right that’s important.
