What feels right in your heart though is a result of your life experiences, if you had been raised in a different area of the world, what felt right would be different. Which is why what religion a person is is determined primarily by where they are.

And isn't it fantastic how each species fills a niche perfectly?
Please don't take a lack of understanding of something and turn it into a shortcoming in that thing.

You say there is too much that science will never be able to explain.. never is a long time, that's a very bold claim, you should provide some support for that.

Where does science ever say "you'll just have to trust us"? If science doesn't know something it clearly says "I don't know". Are you uncomfortable with the answer "I don't know"?

Maybe that's a root cause of religion in some, the inability to deal with "I don't know" as an answer?
