Just do a search on google for this phrase. If I make say a thousand prophecies that are fairly abstract for example:
In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb
Well let us analyse this. For Example what does City of God mean? It could be Mecca, Medina, Rome, Jeruselum, Salt Lake City, or any holy city depending on your religion. What do I mean by thunder--a storm? War? EarthQuake? lots of stuff can be described by thunder. There are a lot of two brothers on this world (I think the Number runs among the Billions) and fortress edure's what--Besiegement, Famine, etc? What Great Leader? How will he succumb? To what?

What value does consistancy have when you keep giving the same thoughtless answers?
Religon's Answer: God
Religon's Answer: God ad nausum
What would religon's answer be for why light travels at one speed and not another? - GOD made it so?
There is no meaning behind those answers. At least science tries to explain something based on fact, religon requires you to make that 'leap-of faith' from the get-go. Science gives you something to build on.
I am not saying a agree with the journalist's point about Evolution being proven. There realy was not any facts to back that up in the article, but don't discount science because it isn't giving you the answer right now.
