    Hi Apostle Jack, wisdom is the most powerful. Just right from wisdom the whole creation has come out.

    What is seen is more powerful to what is seen. Spirituality is a controlling factor and has no basis in reality. Reality is made up of what is seen. Without the physical, there would be no reality. The physical is the cause of everything. Just because you cannot see it does not mean it is not physical. Science is also involved in dimensions.

    in theory,but i think most people are affected by 'seen', as you say science deals with those and most people dont even think about those, so they aint thinking about the things that arent seen

    so as much as id love to say unseen is more powerful, i think that only matters to people who actually care about unseen

    Science also deals with the unseen for most. Science and religion have this in common, they both rely on 'experts' (religion has its priests, science its, well, scientists) to explain the unseen. I have never seen God except through artists rendering as I have never seen an atom nor a strand of DNA except in pictures. We can all see and touch person but we can see and touch neither his soul nor his DNA so we are left to merely rely on a third party opinion that they exist. Faith is required for both to have any power; faith in the existence of God in the case of religion and faith in the existence of DNA etc in the case of science. Both can be used to explain the unexplainable, both have power, both are largely objects of faith.

    The power of each resides in the strength of conviction of its adherents.

    My final point: faith in religion doesn't exclude faith in science nor does faith in science exclude faith in God. The power of humanity resides in our ability to be guided by both.

    Yes it can be.
