When will people realize that religion and science are not mutually exclusive?

littlefindsforgot:

In that someone who chooses to be religious can very well be scientifically informed, or indeed, a great scientific mind. And that someone who revels in scientific discovery can fall in love with a religion if they so choose.

When people stop denying scientific fact in favor of religious beliefs.  Perhaps then the scientific field wouldn’t be so rejecting of religion, but right now, the religious right is trying to erode scientific progress.

That’s really not necessarily true. Religion isn’t doing anything. It’s stupidity that is. Religion (at least the Abrahamic tradition) makes no comments on science at all. None of the texts deal with science.
