Close, but not quite. Science is based on theories that ***explain*** 
facts. Religions do the opposite, they present guesses (not the same as 
theory), then wander around "looking" for facts that appear like they 
support them, usually while ignoring ones that don't. This is why the 
former can be tested, while the later can't. One *must* change when 
confronted with different facts, and actively looks for things that can 
"break" it, the other, tries real hard to go, "La la la la la!", with 
its eyes and ears covered, until/unless it finds some fact that can be 
shoehorned into the appearance of support for it. Sadly for them, 
appearances matter not one bit.
