this reminds me of stephen king's movie, The Myst,.. they ran out of gas, and they were surrounded by beasts/monsters..due to the lack of faith and the likelihood that they'll be eaten by monsters, the main character shot everyone in the car including his own kid..as it was the rational thing to do.. the moment he killed them..rescue arrived..and the movie ended with him screaming in agony for his mistakes. faith is powerful..sometimes it helps keep you going even if it's the most irrational reasoning.
Funny thing is, after all of the resistance to science from religion hundreds of years
ago, now it seems to be coming full circle in a way. Science is proving, much to
the chagrin of some scientists and the delight of others, that many religious texts
have a firm historical basis. For example Exodus. Various branches of science are
showing it to be a pretty accurate historical account - archeology is finding that
the Egyptians separately recorded the same events, from their own political
perspective, and finding Isrealite artifacts showing that the Isrealites were in Egypt
at the proper time, then suddenly left. Geology and recent history show exactly how
the plagues probably happened, with a very similar chain of events occurring recently.
In short, seismic activity released toxic gas into a river and lake system, turning it red
and causing all of the frogs to jump out. Volcanic ash from the eruption turns the sky
dark and fire falls from the sky. That's five of the plagues - the Nile turning red, the
frogs, darkness, and fire from the sky. The others are similarly related - first born
sons in Egypt slept on mats on the floor - making them particularly vulnerable to the
toxic gas which is heavier than air. I don't remember all of the details, but the events
in the 1980s match very closely to the Exodus plagues, and science has learned
that indeed Santorini was caused by a huge eruption off the Egyptian coast around
time of Exodus. So for so long religion tried to prevent science from proving them
wrong on certain points, then it turns out that science ends up proving much of what
can be proven or disproven from religion. Interesting stuff. It's good to see that SOME
religious leaders are also opening up far more to what science has to say, looking
at it more the way Einstein did - with science showing HOW "the God force" does
what it does.

WRONG! If anything, everything that is in the bible that was subscribed to the workings of a god are now in fact explainable phenomena. The fact is, that those people didn't know what the hell was going on, so it isn't any wonder why they assigned a religion and dogma to it.
The very fact that other ancient cultures recorded the same events as well as bridging or sharing or incorporating myths from one cultural religion to another is the first instance of the actual absence or sustainability of a definable and organized religion.
So no, sorry... science doesn't back religion, it backs the natural events as DEPICTED in the bible and other religious or cultural texts. Religion is to all purposes "Schrodinger's Cat" and science will always be the guy (observer) that opens the box.

the simple fact that there wasn't dragons in the room, doesn't mean it wasn't a rational concern based on what they knew up until they turned the light on.
