So in a way, you are agreeing with me, that science is really just something born out of religion and is an improved method of looking at things.
See, Truth Happens. There is no way around it. If something happens, there rules and laws were followed. Science takes a closer look at SOME of things. Science tells us, no two snow flakes are exactly alike. Even though every snowflake is labelled a snowflake, that the subtle differences in water and environment allows that every snowflake is unique.
Now humans are sort of the same. Mormons are a product of group of common characteristics, as you said. But no two are exactly the same, but not one broke the rules in becoming that. But. . . . which one is right? Which snowflake is the right snowflake?
Every experience makes a person a little bit different and thus a little more unique. To a UT snowboarder, every snowflake probably looks that same. And in a scientific perspective, people are the same too, so sort. Because science looks for things in common, mostly. Like, we all have a brain, eyes, hearts, etc. But to the people, it makes a different to them whether you are Mormon or Catholic. Such differences can have a major impact relationships.
Some atheist science promoters think that we should all just be blended up into a beige skin tone, while some religions want to hold onto identity.
Ultimately, identity is what it is all about. How a person feels about who they think they are is = sign of why we do what we do.
I continue to insist that modern science groupies want to take away too much identity and put us all in jump suites.
And there are dozens of area of science that people are basically forbidden to go.
