I'd agree they are different, but at the same time, if there is only one TRUTH, as most religions claim, then how can science and religion NOT have a comparison/relation? I would say that if religion does claims something that can not be verified by science, then the religion/teaching is false. But we have to keep in mind that as humanity grows, so does our understanding of science/nature, so is it possible that science and religion are in COMPLETE harmony, but maybe we haven't figured it out yet? That's 'bout where I'm at!
I'm very religious, and also very scientific (my job/nature), and even though I can't prove everything I believe, I don't take that inability to prove something as any reason to assume it can't be. The same goes both ways - if science shows us one thing, isn't it possible that relgion just didn't talk about it/figured it out yet? Also, if religion teaches something that appears contrary to science, isn't possible that the science hasn't caught up with the religion?
Interesting subject, and one that humanity may NEVER fully understand!
