Ok these are huge topics and everyone has their own opinion on both of these but me and my boss were discussing it so I thought I’d like to hear the opinions of our community on them as well!
Ok so: personally, I do not believe that religion and science are conflicting forces. I think it’s totally possible to be religious and still believe the information gained through experimentation even if you aren’t doing the experimenting yourself. And it’s also possible to be a scientist and still believe in any deity you choose. I think I fall more on the side of science although I do believe in a God.
Where do you guys fall on that spectrum? Do you believe solely what science can prove? Do you believe solely in what is described in religious texts? Or are you somewhere in the middle? And if so, which side do you fall closer to? And, if you feel like explaining, why?

Science isnt concerned with whether or not a rock exists, but that the thing that sits on the ground is in fact a rock.
So no i don't think they conflate, since science is focused on what is already provably in existence, while religion focuses on what can never be empirically proven.
Science and God are two of the same thing, they aren't based on human comprehension. The world is built on a chaotic balance that is too perfect to be random. The level of complexity is that of creation but also destruction. Science is the attempt of understanding god and we know so little.
