LOL! I noticed that none of these questions even go near faith and religion. Science and religion have never been friends.

I don't know. One of them was about science being able to prove there was a god.

That's because science doesn't believe in the idea that certain questions "cannot be asked" and religion very much believed in it for centuries. Somehow the philosophies of Aristotle got intertwined into Christianity and became considered Holy Writ. The trial and imprisonment of Galileo for daring to prove Aristotle wrong was the final blow. It's a shame really, since before the Renaissance many of the greatest scientists were associated with the Church.
