Science will play nicely with Religion and share its toys. While Religion will stop pulling Science's hair.

Also, a penguin will be involved.

My believes don't oppose science that much. The only big things I really disagree with is the big bang theory, and evolution from a Darwinian point of view (slime to fish, fish to reptiles and mamals, monkeys to humans, etc.) I do believe things adapt to survive thier environment, such as having darker skin or a hairy body, but not becoming an entirely new species.

I agree with the quoted answers as to why they don't get along. But, should they oppose eachother? I would say no. But I am not trying to argue for dis/proving religious beleifs with science. Science and religion deal with two completely different areas: science deals with the physical, while religion deals with the spiritual. While there are physical "facts" given in many religions, which science can prove or disprove, they have no bearing on the spiritual.
Another thing we must realize is that physics(the basis for virtually every science) does not show us reality, but a mere shadow of reality. Physics is just mathematical (therefore, logic based) symbols representing the effects of reality, but they cannot show us reality itself. So then, we are stuck trying to figure out what reality is using a non-logical method (aka spirituality).
[Note: here one can use religion and spirituality interchangably]

Science and religion DO NOT oppose each other.

Man however, loves a "Jerry Springer" atmosphere and so we continually invent "discrepencies" between the two that just aren't there.

Though certain aspects of science will oppose certain aspects of religion.
