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 am more inclined to agree, however, there are some who believe that the big bang and everything that follows really did happen, but God caused it to happen and the events such as the ice age and evolution did happen, but in conjuction with what The Bible says to be true. For example: They believe that the highly oxygenated air caused people to be bigger i.e. giants as depicted in The Bible, etc. So there isn't a COMPLETE disconnect between the two, but when one completely denies the other, you are absolutely correct
