I think most of the conflict between religion and science regarding creation vs evolution is a false dichotmy--at least from the human perspective (you work with what you got).
Science can (and does wonderful job) elaborate great and precise detail about the nature of the currently existing physical universe. When it comes to the creation of that universe, science is at complete loss. To "understand" that void, many of us (as it is with the rest of humanity) rely upon faith in a belief. Science and faith can easily co-exist.

"Science and faith can easily co-exist."
Only so long as one discounts God's Word, even when science affirms it.

I agree, science and my faith in the bible and taking it literaly are in complete harmony. It's the evolution fairy tale I have problems with.
