Science is much more important, as I am also not inclined to believe in fairy tales.

The theories of Galen went unchallenged for over a thousand years. Steady State theory was once an orthodox belief. As were various, rather unpleasant, racial theories (often linked to evolution). And so on and so forth.

Science has been (and is) as full of fairy tales as Religion. The failure to understand this is secular Western arrogance at it's worst.

You can't really compare modern science to that centuries ago.

Sure I can. It's just better informed these days.

Don't get me wrong though; I'm not anti-science or anything.

Yes, but only an amateur one.
