This is why the results of science, in so far as they are based on data and careful analysis, tend to be correct in the sense of being coherent and consistent.

The impacts of religion – in so far as it is guided by emotion alone – can have good as well as bad effects, with no guarantee of logical consistency. Religion can be protected from its unhappy consequences, when it is tempered with logic,
