I'm sorry, I missed that (was it earlier in this thread?). Could you
mention a few of religion's successes in describing the physical world again?

Agreed. They're not. Until religionists and mystics try to compete with

literal interpretation of Genesis). As long as religion sticks to poetry
and ethics, science is not a challenge to such outlooks.
