This is where I will be organizing my ideas. One idea regarding science/technology versus religion:
Religion is not "in" science. The former is a beautiful feeling of faith and trust. The latter is a beautiful feeling of predicatable outcomes and peer-reviewed logic. Faith and logic are not the same thing, nor should they be. Each has a purpose.
Considering a fact's importance implies judgement. And you cannot judge a fact if you are 100% ignorant of the outcome that judgement produces. It comes down to inductive versus deductive logic. Because religion is a means and not an outcome, facts cannot be judged when applied to it. It all becomes opinion and faith.
In the end, Faith is inductive (what happens after we die?). Science, in it's truest form, is inductive as well.
