Great explanation. I think what has caused the animosity between science and religion is that for most of recorded history people subscribed everything to the supernatural. Then science comes along and says, no diseases are caused by germs and viruses not demons. Weather patterns are caused by natural occurrences not by the god(s) being angry.

Even now there are people that believe the earth is only 6,000-4,000 years old. Even though all the evidence we have from science(and I mean all the sciences;biology, chemistry, geology, and physics) says it’s much older.

I don’t see how science could ever prove the existence or non-existence of a god or gods through science. It has to be taken on faith.

Right, you can’t prove or disprove God through science, because science and religion are two different methodologies. One requires observation and fact, the other requires faith, and you can’t interchange them and be true to the methodology. One atheist told me that since no one can prove God exists, that’s proof he doesn’t exist. Really? No one knew about germs a couple centuries ago. Does that mean they don’t exist?
