There's been a recent post on tp about "is science and religion compatible?" I.e. can they coexist?
Well, tell you what. What distinguishes them is critical thinking. Investigation. Self-dissection. It's a merciless process that's at the core of the former and is the complete antithesis of the latter.

Unlike religion or politics, science will mercilessly pursue the evidence with repeated experiments.
Other than that, are they compatible? Well, anything is compatible, we're humans after all. Yesterday I learned that onion is compatible with strawberry jam (or so I was told), but meh. It'd be kinda weird and maybe a little, um, how was the word believers like to use... oh yes, "unnatural" to try.
