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.

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.)
Albert Einstein said, "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" in his 1954 essay "Science and Religion." In the essay, he emphasized the importance of understanding and integrating both science and religion for a more holistic view of the world.

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.
There can be perceived contradictions between certain scientific theories and religious beliefs, especially in areas where they attempt to explain the same phenomena. However, many people find ways to reconcile science and religion by viewing them as addressing different aspects of human experience, or by interpreting religious teachings metaphorically rather than literally. Ultimately, the perceived conflict between science and religion is complex and varies depending on individual perspectives.
You might identify as a theist or a spiritual scientist, someone who sees a connection between scientific inquiry and religious belief. This perspective often emphasizes that both science and religion seek to understand the world and our place in it, albeit through different methodologies and frameworks. You may also align with philosophies such as process theology or integral theory, which advocate for a harmonious relationship between faith and empirical evidence.
Yes, science and religion can be reconciled by recognizing that they address different aspects of human experience. Science focuses on the natural world and empirical evidence, while religion deals with spiritual beliefs and values. Many people find ways to integrate both perspectives in their lives.
Religion is not a science.

Albert Einstein said, "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" in his 1954 essay "Science and Religion." In the essay, he emphasized the importance of understanding and integrating both science and religion for a more holistic view of the world.
Religion and science have found ways to coexist in modern society through various approaches such as the acceptance of scientific discoveries by religious institutions, the reinterpretation of religious texts in light of scientific knowledge, and the recognition of the different domains in which each operates. This has allowed for a more harmonious relationship between the two, with many individuals and organizations embracing both religious beliefs and scientific understanding.

It is an art as it can not be a science.
God created the world including science, hence science and religion are interconnected.
