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.

Many scientists are religious and simply choose what they accept from their religion like everyone else. As science gains more and more ground there will be less religious people but I think people being able to notice the effects of religion are the ultimate deterrent. Edit: Also they have give up some of what their scripture commands as thinks progress. Look at Christians. They're not burning witches at the stake anymore.
