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.

    The scientific method requires that in order to establish something as real or fact, we need to test it and verify it with empirical evidence. Two simultaneously believe in religion and yet follow the scientific method, there is obvious contradiction. Religion doesn't meet the criteria of the scientific method, to be validated in any way. From an objective standpoint, no, religion is not compatible with the scientific method.
