There is a difference in trusting in knowledge from science and trusting knowledge from religion . At its most basic level knowledge from religion is inherently untestable . You will never know in any falsifiable , shareable , testable or repeatable way if such knowledge is true . Scientific knowledge on the other hand while more complex than religious knowledge can be falsified , shared , tested and repeated . Unlike religious knowledge there is no inherent barrier that prevents anyone who desires to do so from examining the evidence and repeating the experiments which are the source of scientific knowledge . <| sep |> f you believe that , which you probably will after saying it thousands times , every islam anecdotes will be easily absorbed . I disagree with that . Saying it so many times makes it lose any meaning whatsoever . Especially coming from a nonarabic starting point , doing prayers used to be just going through the motions with no understanding of any arabic words whatsoever .
