It's not the goal of science to disprove religion despite what others say. But what you're ignoring is that science is peer reviewed, tested exhaustively, so by the time something is called a theory (like gravity) It's fairly concrete. Religion is given to you in a religious text, with the basic understanding that it encompasses the knowledge of its time, with no regard for the fact that discoveries are always made. Religious people by and large dismiss obvious discoveries (albeit some are too hard to ignore) and take it as an assault on their religion, as if it's the goal. All people of science want to do, is figure out how things work instead of suspending rationale thinking, which is what many religious people do when they 'throw it all up to God'. I even think God would be disgusted by that.
And just another example of why people should apply some understanding that their religious books were based on thinking of the time, is that there is the lack of proper prohibition of rape. We know full well that if the Bible were written today, some obvious attention would be given to the subject.
More and more, it just seems to me that religious people would be better served if they just used the stories in religious text as life lessons, instead of insisting that they are completely all encompassing, and that God doesn't want you to learn anything important about life away from those books.
