A quote from said link:


"To him who has the power of comprehension religion is like an open book, but how can it be possible for a man devoid of reason and intellectuality to understand the Divine Realities of God?
Put all your beliefs into harmony with science; there can be no opposition, for truth is one. When religion, shorn of its superstitions, traditions, and unintelligent dogmas, shows its conformity with science, then will there be a great unifying, cleansing force in the world which will sweep before it all wars, disagreements, discords and struggles - and then will mankind be united in the power of the Love of God.7"
Here then we find the cop-out. "I cannot understand the divine realities of God, so make sure that I can hide behind science that has changed with every age. And lets make sure that we remove anything that does not agree with science and this will make the world happy and wonderful. After all, it was science that gave us puppies and rainbows!" pft.
