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.

For example, Christianity does not use the scientific method of observation (and experimentation, replication etc) because its knowledge is revealed from God, not observed from the universe, so it has no use of the scientific method (in fact, you [i]cannot[/i] use the scientific method to know God). Since God is unobservable from our vantage point and is not a regular, natural phenomena, it's ludicrous to expect any usefulness from the scientific method.
