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 answered yes. I only answer yes because there can and is, to some degree, science within spirituality. However, in big box religion, like the story of the birth of Christ being born to a virgin and everything else? No, there is no science to that. Science disproves immaculate conception, along with many other things that factually presented in the bible.
