Science and religion do not need to be reconciled. It is well documented that the thought patterns of Christianity - far from being a stumbling block for science - actually worked to give birth to it. Rodney Stark, a former skeptic, has written a series of books that demonstrate it is really no coincidence that the most Christianized part of the world became the cradle for rational, scientific thought.
See one of the included links for a review of one of his books. You can also find a whole list of scientists of the past who believed in a creator for the universe.
Already on the internet I can name one example of a Christian physicist trying to revive the proud Christian-based traditions of Newton, Kepler, and Occam. His name is the author of this answer, and his site is also included. (I really am trying to give a balanced view, and I believe my site fills a largely untapped niche.)

What did Einstein mean by science without religion is lame religion without science is blind?
well, why don't you take a minute and think about it. Science is constantly proving religion wrong and it gives science an underlying purpose to keep moving forward with its work in every category while religion is constantly revising its interpretations of an apparently flawless book. While at the same time religion needs science because it does actually explain how some of the "miracles" could have occured if the people in the stories were the thinking kind of people who could predict wind patterns and sun locations. In short, they need each other I have a slightly different take on this subject. With regards to the first half of the statement, "science without religion is lame", I equate the statement to mean that science would be uninspiring and dull without religion. I infer this interpretation because of another of his quotes, "We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality." The second part of of the statement, "religion without science is blind", may be paraphrased as theories or attitudes held by people or organizations can go off in the wrong direction if not subjected to a structured and systematic study. Just my 2 cents.
Is there a contradiction between science and religion?
Religion staes what it knows as the truth and sifts facts to confirm its position (discarding contradictory evidence). Science observes the real world and attempts to find the explanation by testing theories that eventually may explain the observations - there are no right or wrong choices on data validity.

Can religion and science work together?
Religion is a very complicated subject, since there are many different religions, and each religion is subject to many different interpretations. Science is much more unified.

The choice is yours.
