Science and Religion

Ryan has a great take on the divide between science and religion. He includes good insights like this one:

Everyone interprets the Bible. Most of the fundamentalists, the ones that say the Earth is 6,000 years old or so, don’t think that Christ literally meant ‘this is my Body,’ and Catholics generally think the inverse.

I've always considered the Science vs. Religion dichotomy to be a false one. Science is natural philosophy. Religion is essentially supernatural philosophy. Trying to apply one to the other seems like a venture fraught with problems.
