Perhaps the professionals in religion would be better spending much more time in focusing on their profession - Compassion! That most other people would not care much as the religious people usually do! Then the professionals in science who possess scientific research and investigating skills/knowledge, and the professionals in philosophy who possess philosophical arguing and logic skills/knowledge, would have better and deeper meaningful saying about Creation! For the religious people to learn from and update their understanding about Nature - with probably an ongoing and never-ending process!
Just 2 cents: In the business of compassion, its professionals and practitioners, imo, would not argue with others against any subjects. Applying any dogmas to anyone could be a source/cause of arguments. Detrimental to spreading compassionate messages, also to implementing compassionate acts. Poor evidence, Bigly! Coordinating resources from all potential contributors, especially through avoiding arguments or creating enemies, would be the highest priority when providing necessary helps to the needy and the weakest/lowest. Even that would produce certain uncomfortable feeling inside! (Love your enemies, they just don't understand!) Otherwise, the business of compassion, aka (true) religions, would be diminishing over time - mainly because their compassion acts that can be seen in the public are gradually and largely disappearing! Sad!
Depends of your imagination and/or fantasy. The more you have from one of them or even from both, the more convinced you are that predestination exists. When people read their horoscope, for some of them the horoscope is always correct. Horrorscope.
Is it possible that many religious believers are actually merely believers of The Book of their religion, rather than truly believers of The universal God of the universe?! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe
compassion is tricky is it compassionate to allow a person to kill himself. to allow women to abort their own children to allow infanticide there is a reason for the saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Should a president be compassionate for terrorists or should he execute them. I don't see how you can drone them compassionately. Love might be the true religion but not compassion. Compassion needs proper guidance.
