So you are suggesting that, since science is based on a flawed assumption, we turn to religion? Most likely your particular brand of religion?
Don't you realize that all religion resolves back to "Trust me!" at some point? I am not willing to trust the word of shamans, whether contemporary or having lived several thousand years ago. They have not been shown to be a very trustworthy lot on the whole.
I'll stick with science, and if there are truly problems with our methods we'll see if we can't work them out.
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
