Science must destroy religion?
Sam Harris writes, "Most people believe that the Creator of the universe wrote (or dictated) one of their books. Unfortunately, there are many books that pretend to divine authorship, and each makes incompatible claims about how we all must live. Despite the ecumenical efforts of many well-intentioned people, these irreconcilable religious commitments still inspire an appalling amount of human conflict."

Ok man we need to get past this metaphysical crap. Ask an intellegent question like, has man evolved emotionally as fast as he has evolved technologically.
the egyptians created the sun god "RA" to explain why the sun rose and set. this is similar in many cultures like native americans, incans, aztecs, etc. but now science can explain why the sun rises and sets. so i think god is just an explanation of the unknown. and of course, as our technology advances, so will our explanation of the unknown.
