Religion deal (sic) with the questions of WHY, not How. IMHO, religion and science are not mutually exclusive but rather support each other.
The problem is that religion claims to answer all questions, and by definition cannot. At least the claims of science are repeatable, debatable, and testable. Religious claims are immune to objective analysis and need to be accepted without criticism.
I'd have to say there have been many more instances in which religion and science have come into conflict rather than supporting one another. I know wishful thinkers like our dear departed DarkStar like to talk about the fruitful union of religion and science, but I have no idea what that would entail. It seems to me that neither concept would benefit from such a cooperative effort, and a slew of historical facts can be cited to back me up on this.
