But Chrisitanity is a rather young religion, only around 5000 years old. There were many other religions before that. Humanity is extremely old, much older than the date of the biblic creation of earth. Religion goes wrong where it tries to use vague beliefs to counter scientific evidence.

Science is not The One And Only Truth either, since it can go wrong sometimes. There were many occasions in history where new scientific results showed mistakes in old ones (though not as many as in religion). There are many factors in the law of nature that we don't know yet, many irregularities. But it is much more reliable and more useful than belief. But science and religion are not mutually exclusive.

No, but I'll repeat: Religion goes wrong where it tries to use vague beliefs to counter scientific evidence.
