Science and religion are in pursuit of the some of the same things.
Both try to explain and thus heighten our experience of the incredible beauty that is this universe.
Both try to provide answers outside of ourselves.
Here's the major difference between most religion and science.
Religion requires faith.
Faith is a mind killer. Faith is a comfortable blanket to insulate from the cold reality of the unknown. Faith is even at times - laziness.
Faith calls for an end to the pursuit of knowledge, to further understanding.
It is a matter of faith - simply accept.
Science pursues truth. Truth reveals beauty. Truth is much larger than ourselves.
Truth is the reward of our courage to face the unknown.
Truth is the reward of our courage to face not knowing.
The pursuit of truth is the only thing that will expand understanding, compassion, humility.
Truth, the pursuit of truth, is the only way we can grow.
As we gain more understanding, as we discover more truth, the beauty that is this universe is revealed
and the more beautiful we become.
I choose truth over faith every time.

Having faith is the same as not knowing. Not knowing is to forever remain a child. Science is what we can observe and understand.
