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.

I personally consider science as a type of religion. It does the exact same thing as Islam and Christianity and explains the things around us. Except it injects a little bit of morals and ethics into the mix, this is where I lose my patience with many religions. If the world worked on cold stone logic then things would be so much better. I don't mean we need to divorce ourselves form our emotions just think openly about everything. Any why most of science is based around theories and presumptions in the whole. I can't accept it as fact until all the pieces of the puzzle fit together.
