Inconsistencies and contradictions like the fact that we observe neutrinos decaying in the sun, which proves that they change? But we observe neutrinos arriving together with light after a supernova, which proves that they move at the speed of light. How does that concur with our axiom that an object moving at the speed of light had no mass and experiences no time, so it cannot change?

Inconsistencies and contradictions are found as much in science as they are found in religion.

I dont think its "as much" but anyway, science works to resolve these tensions, regardles of personal believes. You had to reach for the edges of scientific progress to come up with these examples, whereas i was speaking of the foundation of religion.

At least in my religion, those versed in it and who deal with it have resolved or are working to resolve such tensions. Maybe some religions don't. But then your statement should be "Foo religion", not "religions".
