Unless we're going for personification, the sciences are incapable of being "for" or "against" anything. The sciences represent a way of knowing or a method of obtaining information and understanding the world. The sciences are not persons.

Persons who happen to be scientists, or who incorporate elements of the sciences into their worldview, can, however, be "for" or "against" some other worldview, religious or otherwise. This should not be conflated with or mistaken for the sciences themselves.

Is there any ambiguity in it? Please

You want something from a scientific publication that says science is against the "Revealed Religion?"

What is the "revealed religion?"
Why do you think the claim that science is against that revealed religion would be found in a scientific publication?
Are you just asking for evidence that your religion is false?

I'm just confused as to where you're going with this.

A lot of people think that science is against revealed religion, such people should provide proper evidence for that from science.

Science isn't against anything. It's just a tool used for validation.
I can come up with any frigging theory I want. If I can use science to validate it, then it's more likely to be accepted by other folks.

What experiments do you propose that can be used by science to validate your revealed religion? You'd have to provide the conditions necessary to falsify the religion.

Science is not against the concept of revealed religions. It doesn't contradict any scientific knowledge.

1. There is not such thing as a "revealed religion".
2. No. Science is not against any kind of religion.
3 It's some religious beliefs that are against science.

I think that you are confused. Just because revealed religions make claims that are contrary to the scientific evidence does not mean that science is against revealed religion. It simply falls under the general heading of science being unwilling to support stuff that is not true (or that lacks evidence).

If said religion is inherently contradicted by certain obvious conclusions(like saying the earth is flat, light is instantaneous, only 6k years old, ect) then yeah, probably, but that's because the religion in question is simply either woefully misinterpreted or is an outright fabrication(hello, $cientology).

When you start from an assertion that involves a falsehood, anything follows from it (given a false antecedent, the truth-value of the conditional is "true"). So, for example, when you make a nonsense claim about what "science" is against (when "science" isn't an entity and is not even singular in the sense most non-scientists believe), it is "true" the way "if the moon is made is green cheese, then 1+1=10,000,000" is true. First, the sciences have no clear unifying property or properties that define them and that necessarily exclude those "fuzzy" fields such as historiography, some pseudo-sciences (or at least fields generally regarded as pseudo-sciences), etc. Second, and more importantly, there is no unifying property of the sciences that can possibly make them all unified regarding your question (and there is no consensus about what constitutes a "science"). Third, a minimalist interpretation of what constitutes the sciences would still not result in a unified stance that licenses the propositional form of your question.

I am not proposing any experiments. I hear people say that science is against religion, I just want to see if it is so.
