There's no way that scientists can ever rule out religion, or even have anything significant to say about the abstract idea of a divine creator.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There can be no truce between science and religion.
We have seen that no religion stands on the basis of things known; none bounds its horizon within the field of human observation; and, therefore, as it can never present us with indisputable facts, so must it ever be at once a source of error and contention.
From the point of view of many scientists, gods represent an explanation for the unknown. Scientists are focused on trying to understand the unknown, so there is a fundamental conflict. That said, some scientists find religion useful and perhaps even fulfilling.
As a scientist, I don't believe science will ever discover whether God exists. Nor do I believe religion will ever prove it.
No one will presumably ever be able to prove or disprove such fundamental religious principles as the existence of God.
Science is only truly consistent with an atheistic worldview with regards to the claimed miracles of the gods of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Science has nothing in common with religion. Facts and miracles never did and never will agree.
A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory.
Indeed, in view of its function, religion stands in greater need of a rational foundation of its ultimate principles than even the dogmas of science.
Except for a God who sits down after the universe begins, all other gods conflict with the assumptions of science.
