why most people in third world countries have much more faith in religions, beliefs held at the science? It lies in the lack of education?

People have faith in divine being, not in religion. The expression of such faith in divine being or lack thereof is called religion. I guess it's similar about science as well. How many people put their faith in science? None.

Each country has their God many of them believe; I think we are have the same God. And then each country has their prophet who lived here on earth teaching them right from wrong like Jesus Christ. Although to me Jesus was more then just a prophet and more then just a man. He might really be God. OK, I don't really know for sure but when I read his miraculous words I can't help but believe or come close to believing. I kind of lost faith I had when I was younger but I still hope Jesus is out there. I mean so much of what he said just makes so much sense to me. If only more people would have listened to him; if only more people these days would listen to him. Or listen to the prophet who lives (lived) in your country. I kind of think God sent a certain righteous leader(s) to each country.

Science supports the belief ... Faith or belief also supports science ... But sometimes there are some things that are not accessible to science that has been described by the Religion .. There is nothing to the contrary ..

Religions require their adherents to the faith. It is argued like to, if you know that God exists, that would be no faith. In science, it is different. The statements are objective, that is, each familiar with the matter, therefore, dominated the scientific method can check whether a theory is right or should be corrected. That's the real difference. In faith there is no chance to check out something yourself, it is to accept, in humility, of course. Faith is static, what should be changed even if you accept the dogmas. Science is dynamic, every day there is new evidence that faith is not as far. Education has much to do with welfare, schools and teachers need to be financed. This is often missing in poor countries. When clerics are going to offer to teach something, then just be the "holy book" of their own faith community submitted and made the content of the curriculum. That is generated in the result because no real knowledge, is on hand. The format is usually also the interests of the ruling classes. Educated might think so and require a change in their society.

I believe both in Science and Religion. It is not due to lack of education leads to more faith in religion. Science is goes on updating and most of them is not static. For example, if you take in case of planet, it was tell that there nine planet and it was confirmed that Pluto is not a planet.Science tells that it can neither created nor destroyed. There arise who created ? The result is religion. Which religion that we must have to find out. Iam as Muslim I believes the holy Quran is the best science we can find. It describes about latest science and upcoming things. I request every one to study this holy Quran.

I believe more in science. According to me science can explain everything. People in third world countries believe more in religion because the culture is less widespread and reigns in many villages the ignorance or rather the non-knowledge of things.
