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.

Does that make atheism a faith? As it still is a belief in nothing? And just for the record you cannot totally prove or disprove the existance of a God/gods. More on topic, a Christian came up with the Big bang theroy, and stayed a man of faith, so yeah... things just got sticky.
