Many people think that science should replace religion because religion is a left over from the infancy of our intelligence and religion makes humans to not be able to think critically because they do not want to believe the facts that science could explain everything and that God does not exist. What science could not do before, for example, people like Aristotle and other ancient Greek scholars believed that the Earth was round till Isaac Newton first proposed that Earth was not perfectly round, based on some research that have proven Newton’s claim, such as because of the Earth being sphere, the distance from Earth’s center to sea level is roughly 13 miles greater at the equator than at the poles. Hence science, knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe, should work together with religion, a set of beliefs that is held by a group of people, because both can complete each other’s flaws. Almost all people believed that science could prove almost everything, as science does not appear from nowhere in one day. Science started out as an observation, which then became a hypothesis, leading to experiments, repeated experiments, the results of which are eventually submitted for peer review. When the results passed peer review and get published, scientists will then analyze the data for years again to look for inconsistencies, Once, the hypothesis survive the test, they become a scientific theory. For example, people who can see the supernatural, like ghosts, believed that ghosts existed and that means God existed and other different kinds of supernatural. To prove itself, the explanation from scientists about the existence of the ghosts is that the scientists had stimulated the left side of the junction, the part of the brain that defines the idea of self.
