Greetings everyone. This is my first post here so nice to meet you all, hi Razd.
Imo, the two circles of belief have very little overlap and people are just arguing over nothing.
In the circle of religion I believe that God is the supreme being, religion is the manifestation of mankind's own way to worship Him and the book, whether Bible, Quran or other Buddhist scripture are human's own way of his interpretation of God. Nitpicking on a detail in the book doesn't disprove God at all. It just proves that our interpretation of Him is not perfect. It's obviously not perfect by the fact that we have so many different interpretions, and so many different books written about God.
Science is based completely on what we can observe. The accuracy of science will improve as our ability to observe improves but there is a limitation. What we can observe is limited by time, size and distance. We can't observe the distant past, we can't observe cycles that span millions of years, we can't observe details on things too far (otherwise not much point flying all the way to mars when we can do all the observations here), we can't observe details on things too small. What's more there is no rule to say everything must be observable. Just because we can't observe it doesn't preclude it's existence. God is one of those things so science can never disprove the existence of God.
