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 thought faith and proof were opposites. I don't have faith my light is on, I'm looking right at it. I have faith that the math test will be canceled. Once the teacher sends the notice, its no longer faith, its knowledge. Religion, more importantly belief in God, is belief without evidence. Science tests hypothesis, but doesn't believe them until anyone can repeat the experiment with the same results. So, science says I call the teacher and ask if the math test is off, and then ask a friend to call to confirm. The faithful person would just believe without the call. So, the two are in fact, opposites.
