Default Religion v. Science. Is there a more logical choice in the two?

As for religion, just something I found while browsing around the internet (Facebook):

1. The only evidence you have for your holy book/religion being worth more than someone else's holy book is that you are convinced it's so.
2. Lots of people are convinced by lots of different holy books/religions.
3. They can't all be right.
4. Therefore it's possible to be utterly convinced and wrong.
5. The chances of your religion being the right one--it has an equal chance as ALL other possible religions--are a billion to one.
6. Your religion probably isn't right.

Thus, by that above set of statements (which I believe to be true), there is only one correct religion, and your chance of picking it is completely and utterly nil. It's probably some religion you've never heard of, because right now it's DEFINITELY not looking to be in Catholicism's favor. (Joke against Catholics... it doesn't look very good for any religion, actually, because there are so many.)

On the other hand...

Look at Science. A lot of people choose the scientific path, thinking that there's more proof in that. In my experience, sometimes Religion provides more answers than Science could ever dream of. Look at how many things are unproven, unstudied, or simply not really known about. Gravity is still unproven. No kidding. They still say it's a theoretically based claim. Now, in four hundred years, no one has ever disproved gravity. EVER. In fact, no one in recorded history (5000 + years) has ever dropped something and not had it fall. Trust me, they'dve recorded that.

In other words, Science is sometimes too thorough for its own good. Rarely is anything proven about a subject past its existence.

Anything to add to either side?
