I think that science and religion are allies and not enemies. The confusion stems from what they do, and from the fact they look at issues from a different perspective.
Science is based on observation, experience and experiments. It can tell how things, the way they work. It Is good for independently verifying facts, extrapolating from an experience.
Religion is good at moral questions and setting up a system of thought that is consistent.
They are not the enemies of each other. Each plays a part in society, and one should not be seen better then the other. They play, in fact, a complimentary role to each other, in a way one hand washes the other.
Why has religion and science been placed in an adversarial role ? Why do some religions suggest and propose absurd thins, stop progress and act in a manner that is the opposite that human beings want to live ? What can we, personally do, to erase the so called " War", and help religion and science see they compliment each other, and should not be turned into enemies ?
