Are science and religion compatible?

Yes

No

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.

    This is why people who don't know anything about the field of science shouldn't comment on it. The scientific method and the field of science aren't the same thing. The scientific method is simply a way to approach a hypothesis and come to a valid conclusion based on the data. The scientific method doesn't always work because there's always room for error, which is why you get things like flat earth theory, miasma theory, the geocentric model, etc. It looks like the OP wasn't able to contradict this, which was expected.
