Abstract
The purpose of comparing science to religion concerns learning how science works, so that future scientists will continue to base their decisions on experimental evidence. If science fiction or unproven principles begin to be taught as theory or law, then science becomes religion and this is very dangerous to science. The goal is to prevent this from ever happening.
There are many believers in science and religion, so the argument here is fact or faith. An example of three concepts for science are quantitative, qualitative, and hypothesis. Science is used to solve crimes. 
If an individual is accused of not paying their taxes or selling counterfeit items, then science is used to determine the method used by the criminal to abuse the system. Science informs the government of the methods used in the crime and changes are made to protect the victims. An example of three religious concepts is resurrection, faith, and miracles. This article will determine the differences between science and religion.
Quantitative data shows how much, how little, how big and how fast as determined in a scientific experiment and recorded as numerical values. Qualitative data applies to the five senses,
for example, color, smell and texture. Hypothesis is an educated guess and science is based on the determination of facts observed from experiments. Science uses certain steps to provide evidence for a hypothesis, such as research before an experiment is done to prevent waste. The goal of science is to make the best use of the resources available.
Faith believes in something that can’t be proven real. A miracle is claimed to happen but can’t be explained. Religion does not change because the events associated with the details 
of the religion involve life and death. An individual has to have faith to believe in religion. Religion can be complicated since it usually involves following rules or sharing beliefs. A follower of a religion may not know for sure whether the miracle is the truth or a lie. They have to have faith that the miracle is true. In some religions if certain traditions aren’t followed then disciplinary actions will be taken. A miracle is a record that an un provable opposite has occurred and cannot be tested through science. Miracles are evidence that opposites are apart of the universe. So its not saying miracles are fake, they are just un provable.
A goal of science is to fight crime, identify the perpetrator of violent acts, such as murder or rape. However, not all criminals get caught. Religion promotes the concept that you will pay in the afterlife. All religions promote accountability for example, if you do well as a follower of Hinduism, then in your second life you may be reincarnated into a cow or a rat as a reward.
If you are a follower of Christianity and you accept Christ, you will be rewarded with eternal life. Moreover, science promotes accountability for an event that occurs, because it uses the scientific method to solve the problem.
