Science uses facts as the basis for making sense of the world. Religion uses 'faith' to give meaning to our presence in the world.

However, if faith (religion) is used to explain facts then it will fail because science works better at explaining the physical world.

From what we understand at the moment science can not prove or disprove the existence of God and thus there is room for 'faith' (religion) in the world.

The important thing to remember about Science is that a scientific explanation of the observed facts is not a 'truth' it is JUST an explanation that stands until a better one is found. Science requires that you continually test theories.
