The main argument claiming that there is no conflict between science and religion is basically that God is a scientist, or at least works with science... that he understands and uses the forces of the universe to do what he does. As it has been throughout Earth's history, what looks like magic to one group is actually the technology of the other. If God knows everything, which is part of the definition of God, then what he does looks impossible and miraculous to us, but it is explainable once we get to a sufficient level to understand it.

Why did science and religion clash?
The relationship between religion and science has been a focus of the demarcation problem. Somewhat related is the claim that statements about the world made by science and religion may rely on different methodologies. Religion, is often argued to rely on revelation and faith. The methods of science are elaborate and science does not depend on faith. Some scholars say the two are separate, as in John William Draper's conflict thesis and Stephen Jay Gould's non-overlapping magisteria, while others (Thomas Berry, Brian Swimme, Ken Wilber, et al.) propose an interconnection. The Pew Forum has published data on attitudes about religion and science.ConflictA variety of historical, philosophical, and scientific arguments have been put forth in favor of the idea that science and religion are in conflict. Historical examples of religious individuals or institutions promoting claims that contradict both contemporary and modern scientific consensus include creationism (see level of support for evolution), the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to heliocentrism from 1616 to 1757 including the Galileo affair, and more recently, Pope Benedict XVI's 2009 statements claiming that the use of condoms to combat the AIDS epidemic in Africa was ineffective and counterproductive. Additionally, long held religious claims have been challenged by scientific studies such as STEP, which examined the efficacy of prayer. A number of scientists including Jerry Coyne have made an argument for a philosophical incompatibility between religion and science. An argument for the conflict between religion and science that combines the historical and philosophical approaches has been presented by Neil Degrasse Tyson-Tyson argues that religious scientists, such as Newton, could have achieved more had they not accepted religious answers to unresolved scientific issues.

The conflict between religious beliefs and scientific theories continues to be a topic of controversy in some communities today.
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.
How are science and religion related?
Science and religion both seek to explain the world around us, but they operate in different ways.

Ultimately, how they are related depends on individual perspectives and interpretations.
