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.

God is supposedly perfect (of the main monotheistic 3). Whereas, gods of the other religions (HIndu, Buddhism, Norse, Greek, etc...) seem to display human faults or characteristics. Assuming we are talking about the former (Which this forum always does when referring to religion disregarding the Eastern ones), if God is perfect and math is supposedly perfect (and math is a core pillar of many sciences), why can't God have created math or why can't God be math or why can't math be God or why can't math be a manifestation of God or why can't math be the rules to the universe as deemed by God? Who knows? Humans be silly trying to work out the mindset of God/gods (if there are one) or trying to find the answer for everything. Silly humans.
