Science and Religion are not incompatible, the only folks that find them incompatible are the folks who subscribe to literal reading of every line of the old testament, particularly the pre-history parts, which of course flies in the face of all serious Theology.
The “young earth” theory, that the earth is just a few thousand years old is not supported by any basis, theological or scientific, its nonsense.
This very article is a bit silly, the evidence suggest tissue was found in the fossil, great, the supposition by the young earth theory is the fossile can’t possibly be millions of years old because of this, without any real evidence to support that, other than a theory, the opposite proposition is that soft tissue under the right circumstances could indeed survive millions of years.
Its not suprising the young earth theory folks are arguing a non bending proposal, and the sceintific folks are arguing hmmm perhaps there are things we don’t quite know... Yet, the “religious” and I do use that term very loosely here, are claiming that the other side is being unyeilding and absolute.
According to first mover theory, change in and of itself is proof of God’s existance, yet there are so many incredibly ignorant folks claiming that theories around change are an attack or affront to God that its nonsense.
ANyone so utterly ignorant of theological teachings, then trying to argue someone else’s theories are an affront to them is foolhearty on both fronts.
The Holes in the “Young Earth” theory are massive, let alone the very idea that the bible tells the age of the earth to begin with, which when read literally or figuratively it clearly makes no such offering.

There are many reasons that incompatibilities exist, when they don't have to.
The biggest reason for almost all modern incompatibilities of everything from science to the supernatural is due to the paradigm shift in interpretation that happened in the first 4 centuries of christianity. We went from Jesus' 2nd Temple interpretations of Scripture to the Greek interpretations of christianity.
There is a clear and distinct separation between what was believed during the age of Jesus (and what he taught) and what was taught throughout the Diaspora after the age of Jesus.
These deficiencies in interpretation have caused so much harm that there are volumes of books that try to explain why the chasm exists between what was and what is.
Regarding this whole "Young Earth" stuff I spend a lot of time researching the 2nd Temple Period of Ancient Judaism/Israel/Galilee and I know of no interpretation from the time of Jesus that postulated a "Young Earth" theory of creation.
