				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.

	Religion is aimed at answering the why questions of the universe, while science is addressed at the what and how questions. That said, Religion is often not compatible due to the pig headed nature of the religious, although anti-theists are trying very hard to bridge their end of the gap with pig headed behavior as well.
