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.

No, they're not. And I don't mean that religion and science cannot "coexist" either in the real world, or in somebody's mind. However, if a religious person were to argue that they found the scientific method the supreme way of understanding, for lack of a better term, "stuff," they would be subject to cognitive dissonance. Most religions, in order to be a "believing" member, require fundamentally unscientific things to be accepted as truth.
