I believe that science can teach religion a thing or two and the same for religion it can open up a new world for science. But the two are not listening to each other or don't want to. They seem to be afraid that the proof of one will make the other obsolete. I believe if the two would merge ideas it would enhance the beliefs of both. Religion has to let go much of the superstitions attached to their beliefs and separate fact from myth. There is nothing wrong with the teachings of mythology. I have learned much through the teachings of mythology. It gives an understanding of life that can not be explain literally. Unfortunately many of the major religious teaches (Christian,Islamic,Judaism) and so called theological doctors teach mythological stories as fact. Teach it for what it is, it may cause less confusion. If science would admit there is something unexplained in the center of everything keeping things moving evolving from the smallest to the largest existing thing in the universe. How this thing is connected to and connects everything in it. Out of chaos comes order which hints to intelligent design. And the age of our universe which went from 5 billion to about 15 billion years old (I think that was the last count as of today). But something strange happen, they found stars as old as 24 billion years. How can the baby be older than the mother, this hints to no beginning. Each of these scientific explorations have theological undertones. I feel a new religion can emerge not only from the collaboration of religion and science but all the major religions with science.
