It's true that science and religion are very much different in all aspects. Science, as a study, is based on observation and experimenting in order to produce facts that prove what is being questioned in terms of the physical and natural world, where religion is based on a belief in a higher power or "imaginary permutations" as described in the video, in my case God. The fact that religion is based on faith which is based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof is what separates science from religion. Although, I understand the point that is being made in this video, the comparison seems absurd to me. Perhaps this is so because I do not question the validity of my religion and I don't need to see God to know He exists, but from a philosopher's or scientist's standpoint I can see why it is being questioned.
I completely disagree with the statement that says that the geographical region you come from, in religion, is primary and every geographer knows that Gods change when you go to a different landscape. Do geographer's know this for a fact or is it an assumption? Has THAT been observed and experimented? What country, state, or city you are from does not determine your religion. If we only looked at the street we live on and did a study on what every residents' religious background is, we would find a wide variety of faiths as well as those who don't have a particular faith.
