When someone doesn't die, they say god isn't ready for them.
Babies/ children, You did not create those, god did.
So what you are saying, babies don't have mothers and fathers? Because i am fairly certain that if i never have sex, i won't have a child.

Science allow us to challenge its theories and concepts and refine them and even debunk them and replace them with new theories as our knowledge expands.

Religion does not allow this, its beliefs and concept are not up for discussion they have been written therefore they are.
The church used to swear we are the center of creation. It no longer does that as Galileo proved different (he was excommunicated by the way).

most catholic doctorines are made up. That doesn't stop them being enforced every sunday.
I would also add, that if someone were to read a catholic bible, they would find books that aren't in the other versions. There is a lot of teachings from the years of jesus, and a whole lot of them just never made entry into the bible. The King James version left out books that God wasn't mentioned in, lowering the book count by 4. There are also other gospels that were never included because they differed too much from the view the church wanted people to have of christianity and Jesus in general. And the book they left in: Romans, is really telling of how they did it. "we don't want the religion to be inaccessible by non-hebrews, so we'll leave out this and this. A smaller tithe will help, etc." Original teaching? Give EVERYTHING to the church and work for it. If you really think about that though, if every single person in the world did this, they would all starve to death because no one would actualy be working and no one would be left to mooch off of. It was exactly like a pyramid scheme when it first started.
