Ignorance and preconception are the source of all problems in life.
Common preconceptions (precons) are religion, political ideology, and superstition. Precons warp our view of nature, so that we cannot see the evidence.
Religion (preconception): The idea is the standard; any evidence to the contrary is ignored, suppressed, or "retrofitted" to the idea.
Idea <- Evidence
Science (reason): Evidence is the standard; the idea is formed, and then reformed to fit the evidence.
Evidence -> Idea
This is why science and religion will never agree; they are opposite processes.
Study of nature leads to spiritual experience.
