indeed.  You just provided a clear case of the differences between religion and
science.  Your point is?... Religion is not science? is anyone claiming
otherwise?  Religion is bad because you are required to believe in invisible
beings dictating actions to "inspired" people who may just be schizoids
wreaking havoc?  perhaps, specially when taken out of context...

Science does not replace God, it only shows His creation all the more
interesting:  thunder is not some god hammering the clouds, just the result of
God's laws governing the physical world.
