The Religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and com

Summary

This quote suggests that any religion that is fearful or resistant towards scientific discoveries and progress devalues the concept of God and ultimately causes its own downfall. By belittling or ignoring scientific advancements, such religions hinder their ability to reconcile and connect with the ever-evolving realities of the world. Therefore, a religion that fails to embrace science ignores the chance to expand its understanding of the divine, limiting its own growth and relevance in a modern society.
