I don't see any reason why belief in god and belief in science can't go hand in hand. I was raised in a relatively conservative Catholic family. The way I was taught it was at the beginning of time (for whatever that means) god caused the big bang. And the earth progressed. I was also taught that god doesn't punish you for not knowing better. I don't know exactly how that applies to this argument, but it seems like it should.

I personally think the problem isn't with god versus science which is not necessarily contradictory, it's religion versus common sense which IMO is very much in contradiction with each other.
