From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science "Science is a process for evaluating empirical knowledge (the scientific method), a global community of scholars, and the organized body of knowledge gained by this process and carried by this community (and others). Natural Sciences gather knowledge about nature, the Social Sciences study human beings and society. "Scientific" theories are objective, empirically verifiable (or "predictive" - they predict empirical results that can be checked)."

Exactly! "Science" is the application and propigation of a systematic way to "Know."

the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding; a department of systematized knowledge as an object of study <the science of theology>; something (as a sport or technique) that may be studied or learned like systematized knowledge <have it down to a science> knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method; such knowledge or such a system of knowledge concerned with the physical world and its phenomena : NATURAL SCIENCE a system or method reconciling practical ends with scientific laws <culinary science>

Someone i know said this: Science is How things happen, Religion is Why things happen. This person also said: If it moves, it's biology, If it blows up, it's chemistry, if it doesn't work, it's physics!

To add to some other good answers here, in the modern world science also works from certain assumptions: that physical phenomena both can be and should be explained in terms of physical causes, and that the fields of science should be attempting to explain the natural world without reference to the supernatural or spiritual. Note that this does NOT mean that the supernatural and/or spiritual *do not exist* -- merely that science does not either address them or use them. They are officially outside the realm of "science". This is the philosophy of "natualism" and "materialism" which bothers the highly religious. Please note, again, that neither science nor naturalism nor materialism state that one cannot or must not believe in God; however, they do state that by searching for explanations within the realm of the natural and which follow natural laws, the universe can be explained without referencing or invoking God.

Dogma entrances by stifling doubt. Science advances by finding things out.
