(1.) Just wondering is there any thing that is actually incompatible between what is in religion and what is empirically observed as being true?
I just ask because I do not see any incompatibility between the two.
(2.)What is bullshit in religions?
(1.) Religion: there are supernatural forces affecting the physical world. Examples: Virgin birth; ascending to heaven; healing the blind with just putting the hand over her eyes; prayers being returned with positive results.
Science: Prayer's effect is random and statistically ineffectual. Nobody can move against laws of nature, such as defeating gravity by employing supernatural forces. Healing the blind with putting a hand over her eyes exists only in fairy tales.
(2.) Bullshit in religion: denial of the evolutionary process.
I have yet to see denial of the evolutionary process in religion. In fact in some religious texts it clearly, to me anyway, states the evolutionary process.

Are you saying that it is absolutely impossible for EVERY, and ALL, human being to be able to prophesize?

To you, could it be possible?

To you, could it be possible?
Accepting that the religious are righteous and the heathen are lost sheep.
Is there one that is truly religious or righteous?

Does it state in religious text that the earth is not very nearly of a ball shape?

Well how could there not be an afterlife?
There is either Life, which is eternal, or, there is life, with some thing after it.

The nature of the, so called, 'afterlife' is extremely simple and easy to
understand, and to KNOW.

Again, very simple and easy to
understand, and KNOW.

From science explanation and understanding of how the; Virgin birth; ascending to heaven; healing the blind with just putting the hand over her eyes; prayers being returned with positive results, can happen, and will happen, will be very easily understood.
Absolutely EVERY thing is relative to the observer. And, you obviously read, and read into, things differently than I do.

But i would have NEVER of had said that.

WHY would you even begin to ASSUME such a thing?

SEveral spots you ask if it were not possible. yes, it is possible. but because something is possible, it is not necessarily probable.
Is it possible that Satan (according to your belief) is more powerful than God? Yes, it is possible.
Is it possible that Jesus the Savior is actually Satan, the Anti-Christ? Yes, it is possible.
So you see, just because something is possible, it is not very probable, and most dogmas or tenets in religious beliefs are darn right stupid like a toad.
