Religion on the other hand can be wholly created from scratch, and is usually teleological in nature from the start. It also tends to use itself as it's own evidence...i.e. "How was the earth created? ..... God, created it. How do we know that?....The Bible says so." Bad example but you get the idea  |
Although I, again, mostly agree with you, I would actually say that science is teleological, but the reality it describes isn't (and science, by and large, acknowledges that). The scientific process, after all, is designed aimed at specific goals, with a specific purpose in mind. But that's a minor point
