That's the whole point of this debate - science versus faith.
Show me the scientific proof that prayer actually works and I'll reconsider, otherwise it's no more than wishful thinking and random coincidence. It's the same sort of thing that virgins were thrown into volcanos for in the past, as a way of ensuring better crops.Not because of science but because of faith. It's why we cross our fingers and make wishes.
As for religions "founding" things -
Education? - The children of Roman slaves were educated because they would be of more value to society as slaves or citizens. That ended after Constantine when the churches burned down many schools and libraries.
The entire medieval period was one where the Church oppressed education and literacy so the priest class could keep the power of knowledge to themselves.
Heretics (like Galileo) were excommunicated because they believed in science, despite being proven correct.
Discovery? - More like exploration for reasons of conquest.
Like an African once said "When they came, we had the land and they had the Bibles. We closed our eyes to pray. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bibles".
Money? - Paper money was used by the early Chinese and cheques and some related banking systems were developed by Muslims as a way of more efficient trade - not for any religious reason but for reasons of commerce.
What are the creation "theories" that have been changed and modified over the years? Even one example will do.
