To the OP. Belief in the Koran or Bible as a factual text would be the scientific equivalent of putting your hands on your ears and shouting "LA LA LA LA LA not listening"

Why? Science can't tell us anything about the first, the second depends on what you mean, and the third... ok, that I'll grant you.

Why? Science doesn't even touch on whether or not there are gods and goddesses. As Storm mentioned about magic it depends on your definition. As for working with crystals, stones, or anything else found in nature, since when does science have anything to say about using something from nature to feel more in touch with nature? Spirituality cannot be touched or examined by science and my spirituality is not contigent on what science does or does not reveal about geology, evolution, abiogenesis or many other things. I accept what science finds as fact without issue. Since what I believe cannot even begin to be examined by science there is no issue there either.

no u r wrong...a true religion and its teachings should make common sense and scientific facts that it gives..to prove itself to the human brain...should be proven...and the religion u named..Pastfarianism.or whatever.... i read that they believe that a monster spaghetti is the creator of the universe....NOT BUYING THAT

I think our ancestors were far more intelligent than many people think.
sir...........spirits and non,, soul thingies..,,,,,,,, how are they being scientiffically proven..:S
