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.

Just look at the internet and how Atheists worship every word some famous scientist says without question, WITHOUT EVEN TRULY UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENTIST'S PAPER. And then you turn to some Christian/theist doing the same thing to his Pope/religious text and say he's a moron. Most Atheists tend to do this and it pisses me the -blam!- off. [spoiler]Now if you're scientifically literate and can actually understand what the scientists are talking about, GOOD FOR YOU! I just hate it when somebody takes their word for it just like any theist does to their religion and spout "Atheists are smarter than theists hur dur!"[/spoiler]
