""according to many, religion was and is inspired by a God, not humans""

Faith may be inspired by a divine spirit which humans may choose to call God, but religion is a human construct in which groups of men claim to know "God's Purpose" and profess to be his messengers, in order to control adherents.



""Additionally, the human interpretation of scientific findings, (you seem to be calling scientific facts) have (and still do) change from trime to time. Are facts subject to change and reinterpretation?""

The "findings", or more accurately the interpretion of results, may have to change to accommodate our increasing knowledge and ability, but the underlying facts remain the same whether we know them or not, and whether we exist or not.
