Spock: Why? Is there something wrong with the one I already have...? (Star Trek III: The Journey Home) Sometimes I feel a need to change my mind more and more these days...! Seriously though, one thing we all forget to do, especially we scientists, is to make observations without bias! Just noting what it s front of you without bringing in any preconceived notions or bias is an art that few have perfected, but it's really critical to true scientific observation. Children have this ability because they can look at something and marvel in its wonder without built in bias from earlier experiences. Some of the greatest scientists, IMHO, have been and are those who have a childlike approach to science. Kirk; Are you sure you won’t change your mind?
Spock: Why? Is there something wrong with the one I already have…?
(Star Trek III: The Journey Home)

Sometimes I feel a need to change my mind more and more these days…!

Thus both Science and Religion flow inextricably from Man's nature. I myself do not find them mutually exclusive. Through Science we observe, predict, and measure the observable world. (And through technology, more in observable every day.) Religion? To use scientific terms, it is more a descriptive 'science' than an 'exact' science. Faith bridges the gap between what we can see, prove, and what we believe, or 'know' to be true. But faith is rooted in this same visceral drive to observe and wonder; to seek revelation (or theories) about what we see, and predict outcomes. Consistent through mans' evolution (yes, there's that word) has been our ability to get things wrong, to form theories that seem immutable one moment, but are discredited---even rendered absurd- the next. It seems probable, then, that theories and ideologies we hold dear today, may be debunked tomorrow. I accept that there is much we don't know, much we may never know. Let's keep looking! Let's welcome the wonder, hit the lab, and may God bless our efforts. It is man’s nature to observe and wonder. Thus both Science and Religion flow inextricably from Man’s nature.
