There is no necessary split between science and religion, although some individuals may have difficulty in accepting scientific facts. For example, the Episcopal Church has said that the theory of evolution does not conflict with Christian faith. In 2006, the General Convention affirmed, via Resolution A129, that God is creator and added that "the theory of evolution provides a fruitful and unifying scientific explanation for the emergence of life on earth, that many theological interpretations of origins can readily embrace an evolutionary outlook, and that an acceptance of evolution is entirely compatible with an authentic and living Christian faith." The Church specifically encourages the teaching of all topics supported by the consensus of scientists, including evolution, in all schools.

Personal views that science and religion are incompatible have led to a perception that religion is unable to adapt to modern science. This has led to divisions in American society over what should be taught in schools, and even personal emnity. Children who are denied a fuller scientific education, or who are encouraged to disbelieve scientific theory, may be placed at a disadvantage in pursuing career options.
