Ahmad Nawaz If people actually followed what their religions
   taught, there wouldn't be problems between religions. But the
   religions are the excuse: People divide over geography, over
   language, over many other things. And if science remains in the
   form established in the 18th century - the modern form is only
   200-300 yrs old tops - and if heads of state start following
   science, which seems to be... the goal of some more politically
   minded outspoken scientists out there, it won't be long before
   competing scientific theories will be the excuse for wars."
