But making absolutely everything else up, and calling it "The Inerrant, Received Word of the LORD" is ok?

Huh?
Religion makes shit up. Science admits any lack of knowledge and takes it as a challenge. Or was there an edit I missed?

Religion makes shit up and science makes shit up.
Both speculate and postulate theories about what cannot be known (yet).
It is beyond our understanding seems much less arrogant than 'we must know'.
I like the admission of fallibility.
