Science Text Attempts to Reconcile Religion and Science

terrymaster69 writes "The New York Times reports that the National Academy of Sciences has just published their third book outlining guidelines for the teaching of evolution. 'But this volume is unusual, people who worked on it say, because it is intended specifically for the lay public and because it devotes much of its space to explaining the differences between science and religion, and asserting that acceptance of evolution does not require abandoning belief in God.'"

....Religion contains nothing worth of respect whatsoever.....

Since the vast majority of humans on earth today and in the past have evidence some form of worship, you throw them all in the trash? Name ONE, that's right just one culture or society now on earth or in all of history that did NOT have religion and worship central to their existence. Humans are, uniquely among all creatures, always have been and always will be religious creatures. Explain why that is scientifically, if you will.
