144. Science should judge religion. Says the Bible

(Suddenly you're an extreme literalist? If Jesus does something, do you say that's what Jesus did, so it has no bearing on how ordinary people should act? Or if Jesus tells a story about lillies, do you say that he's only talking about flowers?)

But you are essentially right on 1 Kings 18.20-40. Which tells us that science should tell us which religions, which parts of religion, are true, and which are false. Or in effect, science is the greater power or say, judge, of religions. Or the major, governing component in them, say.

Science is supposed to look at religions, including Judaism and Christianity, and evaluate them as good or false, according to their physical "fruits," "works," "signs," deeds, and "proofs." As evaluated by scientific experiments, the scientific method. Expert witnesses looking to see if they can produce physical wonders in a timely way: "soon," "at hand, "quickly." Here in front of our literal "eyes." In this "earth." AS evaluated by "science" (Dan. 1.4-15)..

We should not "test" God's patience by breaking his rules. And among his rules is his command to "test everything, " (1 Thess. 5), with "science" (Dan. 1.4-15 KJE).

Many Christians claim you can't put Christianity in a test tube. But the Bible commands us to, in dozens of ways. "Put me to the test says the Lord" (Mal. 3.10).

So you are roughly right. Science should be a very major, the determining part and judge, in Religion. Religion should become a science, you might say.
