Science, Religion, Beliefs, and Confusion

Science is often touted as an opposite to religion. There are confused arguments that science's models change over time. So, Einstein superceded Newton. Godel redirected a lot of mathematical work on a "complete system" with his incompleteness theorem. There are also examples of models that were shown to be totally wrong, e.g., 1, 2, 3. With these examples, science is equated with religion. There are several dynamics at play here.

• The artifacts of science are confused with the process of science. The artifacts are all temporary and may be superceded at any time.
• Any belief system practiced by humans will have their imprint on them. There is a spectrum of human behavior on how tightly a human binds to their belief system - ideologue / fundamentalist to liberal (?) (with leaky margins on absoluteness). One can have ideologues in science, just as in religion. This behavior can be conflated with the endeavor and the two endeavors can be equated. This pattern of equating behavior with identity leads to confusion in a number of different areas, e.g.,  saying a child is stupid when they have done something from lack of understanding or emotion. The "to be" verb equates the child's identity to a behavior.

So, there are similarities in behavior in all human endeavors even if the identity / character of them is different.
