Are science and religion compatible?

Yes

No

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 an engineer and not a scientist, but I enough enough about science to know that faith and science aren't incompatible. Having faith in a god doesn't really violate the scientific method because faith doesn't conform to it. I'm not a person of faith, but I can see why they would use god to fill in the blanks.
