To the contrary, your argument (if at all you can exhibit the shameless audacity to call it that) is the one that comes across as exceedingly weak.
Science does not pretend to have all the answers. In fact, the basis of science is rooted in finding out answers by observation and experimentation. So the fact that science cannot explain what life is is rather immaterial in my dispute over religiosity. In fact, your inference that I am pro-science is totally misguided. I could be anti-religious and anti-science at the same time. This need not be an either science or religion question, only a narrowness of one's framework would rail the issue as such.
Unachosema hapa ni kama mtu kakwambia "njia yako hiyo si ya kweli, na haiwezi kukufikisha unakotaka kwenda, kwani unaenda kusini unavuka mto Ruvuma kuelekea Msumbiji wakati unataka kwenda Nairobi" halafu na wewe unajibu kwa kusema " Njia yako ya kaskazini inaweza kunipeleka Eastleigh Nairobi ?"
Ingawa sayansi haina majibu ya hakika kabisa (majibu ya hakika kabisa - hata kama hayapimiki- ni eneo la dini) lakini sayansi inatupa picha nzuri zaidi kuliko dini. Ili kujua njia gani kati ya sayansi na dini ni sahihi, sihitaji kujua jibu exact. Naweza nisijue square root ya 9, lakini nitajua kwamba haiwezi kuwa kubwa kuliko 9 (nishapata point ya kwanza ya ku converge hapo) then nikajua kwamba 4 squared ni 16, kwa hiyo square root ya 9 probably ni less than 4, halafu nikajua kwamba 2 squared ni 4, kwa hiyo nikajua square root ya 9 ipo kati ya 2 na 4, nina converge kwenda kwenye the right answer comfortably. Hata kama sina the right answer najua it is just a matter of time. Ndiyo sayansi inavyofanya kazi. It is a self correcting discipline through the efforts of observation, experimentation, peer review etc.
Sio kama dini inayokuambia kila kitu ni kazi ya mungu, bila kukupa kitu chochote chenye ushahidi concrete kwamba mungu yupo.
Unaweza kunipa ushahidi wowote concrete kwamba mungu yupo ? Na usinipe maandiko ya misahafu matupu, maana hata Shakespeare alimuandika Romeo, na huyo alikuwa fictional character tu.
Hizi habari za kutegemea-tegemea mungu na supernatural powers ndizo zinatufanya waafrika tunakuwa maskini kila siku tunajazana makanisani, misikitini na kwa waganga (it is all the same to me) wakati wenzetu wanaongeza effort katika scientific research.
Tutakula mi placebo sana tu kwa mtaji huu. Kwanza kila kitu chetu placebo, kuanzia uongozi mpaka bajeti, sasa cha kushangaa kwa huyu babu hata sikioni.
