Current science is just another word for "our best possible model of how the world around us works". No one as far as I know "believe" in Science as a religion. There are no dogmas, no high-priests, no magic signs. There is just the exploration of our world and the knowledge we reliably acrue about it.

You are absolutely right that science is never proven. And science continually disproves earlier findings.

No, it doesn't disprove earlier findings. New models just explain more than previous ones.

Once again, science never proves anything. It just eliminates alternatives. And I don't recall any scientific model saying the Earth was flat. In fact the Ancient Greeks showed the Earth was a sphere and Science wasen't even invented untill 1500 years later.

Not understood.
Sorry, but it seems to me you have no understanding of the scientific method at all. Please read up about this simple idea, perhaps in Wikipedia.

Because we are human. We are individuals, and we find our own truths. Just because you can find absolute truth in science doesnt mean that everyone has to. There is so much out there that science doesn't prove, that the world's brightest minds have no idea about; religion is a logical choice to light the darkness, so to speak.

We are all mortals. Hard to face when first you realize it, but easier to accept as time goes by.
