In contrast to religion, the mark of science is that the scientist admits to their mistakes and forms a new hypothesis, adapting to correct their previous misunderstanding. This is why science gives rise to things that actually work while religion is stranded in the world of metaphor and flexible interpretations.

Religion struggles to give rise to these universally accepted answers to problems due to their subjective interpretation.
