Are science and religion compatible?
Personally, I find the idea of simultaneous support for both religion and science wholly incompatible. Here's my thought process:
- Scientists support the [url=http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/overview_scientific_method2.gif]scientific method[/url].
- Faith-based religion conflicts with the scientific method, as religion skips/ignores steps in the scientific method.
- One cannot support the scientific method while simultaneously supporting faith-based religion.
One cannot truly support both science and religion; you're compromising your support in one or the other.
Thoughts? Explain your position.

I'm not religious, but don't see why the "clockmaker" theory of religion (I.e. Some higher power created the universe and its laws, and now allows it to operate according to those laws) is incompatible with what has been scientifically observed. Science currently states the universe began with the Big Bang; all the clockmaker view does is posit a prime mover which caused the bang to happen. This theory simply tries to explain why there should even be a universe in the first place, rather than looking for God behind every incident. So no, depending on the religion, not incompatible.
