I find teachings that are said to be based off of the words of those from far beyond the Earth to be much more trustworthy than those of a civilization that is frankly, still quite ignorant of what's actually out there.
"Said" to be based off the words of those from far beyond Earth? How do you know the words came from far beyond the earth? Because a fundamentally untrustworthy human TOLD you they did and you believed them? I agree with you that mankind can be dishonest, manipulative, exploitative, confused and uninformed (as well as many other things), this is why I tend not to believe people when they tell me an angel appeared to them in a vision and told them the world was going to end etc. This is also why I find the Bible hard to swallow. No-one out there can deny that the books of the Bible were penned by human beings. So if humanity should not be trusted surely you can't expect those who authored these scriptures to have done an honest job of it? I certainly don't.
The difference with science is that scientists offer up evidence to substantiate their claims. You can either agree with their conclusions or not, but you will also need to substantiate your objections too, not just claim that it's all just some anti Christian conspiracy.
Science does change, and maybe we are too sure of ourselves sometimes. But we are learning more and more all the time. The evidence for evolution is building everyday, and the only evidence its opponents have are the ever decreasing 'gaps'. Just because theories change doesn’t even necessarily mean they’re fundamentally wrong either. Developments in science can simply make calculations and predictions increasingly accurate – they rarely necessitate a complete paradigm shift.
Modern science may still be in relative infancy but look how far it’s taken us, even in the last fifty years. What has religion given you? A vague and occasional sense of purpose and belonging? Science has given us electric guitars and internet pornography dude. Internet pornography.
You also made the mistake of referring to religion as solid. Well, whilst the text in the writings may have remained unchanged their interpretations have been anything but solid. Even today people can’t agree on which parts of the Bible are intended to be literal and which are allegory. There is no universal consensus amongst Christians as to how to get into heaven and avoid hell. There’s even disagreement amongst Christians as to whether hell even exists. Science has forced religion to abandon the assumption that the sun revolves around the earth, and modern morality tends to consider public stonings to be a bit unjustified and barbaric. There are plenty of other examples but I think these are sufficient to make a point.
If you're going to refer to the ignorance of our civilisation you'd do well to remember that that includes you too dude. And me
Read a book on evolution before saying such blatant ignorance. How did the first baby ape get here? Like are you even serious? You can't
be. Learn what a scientific theory is and try actually learning about it before talking about stuff you obviously have no clue about
