Maybe, isn't that part of the goal? I think that science has already changed many peoples religious beliefs. Look at evolution.

No, I don't. It seems that they are moving further and further from eachother on the topic, and reaching a common ground just doesn't look even slightly probable.

No... scientists seek to answer the question "where did we come from?"... religionists point to god, and are content with the answer that god was always there. I doubt scientists will ever give up their search, and I doubt religionists will ever question the origin of their god.

Taking my philosophy course has made me change my mind on god more these days then any of my science classes ever have. Even different religions can't agree on a god. so what is god? is god just the natural wonders around us? Did god just create us and leave, were we even created by some magnificent being that we like to call god? But anywho As long as their is religion, I don't think they will ever agree, if the scientists are right and their is no god it would probably spread the world into chaos, so it is probably better if the answer remains a mystery!

Science as the question 'how' and Religion asks the question 'why'. These are completely different to each other, and I don't see them changing in the forseeable future

You cannot agree on the nature of something that does not exist.

Science and religion are two completely different "windows" on experience, just as science and literature are completely different windows on experience. All human studies try to look at reality - in all its variety - and make sense of it. Science isn't looking for an answer to the nature of God. It's asking other questions. There are many science Ph.D.s who are religious believers. Certainty is perhaps a kind of ignorance. Many scientists will say that there's a great deal "out there" that we don't know.

They used to, that didn't really work. Faith just doesn't mesh with science. You can't prove what must be accepted on faith.

An excerpt from A Higher Good: "...Science, so often berated by religions, will be instrumental in this transformation. Science will save us and lead us into the Age of Benevolence. They–not some religions zealot or domineering world power–will show us the Way. They already have glimpsed the Way in their theory of quantum physics and string theories, but they don’t realize exactly what it is. Science’s goal is not to disprove the existence of God–never has been. Science is the search for objective truth, not subjective data to prove hidden agendas. In this life, truth is the only thing that is holy. Theories of Quantum Physics are revolutionizing how science views the basic fabric of the universe. The experiments that spawned the theory indicate that the basic structure of matter is influenced, and sometimes changed, just by being observed, which indicates that the most solid scientific theory of all is Heidelberg’s Theory. The implications of this are mind-boggling. I believe it will eventually lead science to seriously investigate the possibility of intelligent design, the power of individual and collective will and the existence of the soul, although they will probably coin another word for it. Those who study the brain have been able to pinpoint almost every human function to a particular portion of our gray matter, but no matter how hard they search, they can not find any part of the brain they can call the “observer,” so they refer to it as “the ghost (soul) within the machine.” Some day in the not to distant future, science will prove the existence of God, and that will change their entire perspective and approach to the universe and the human condition. Science will one day discover the ultimate force of love–the power and the purpose behind everything. Science, in effect, will prove the existence of a Higher Good..."

No, but that's only because science isn't trying to figure out the nature of god. Science can say nothing about something which is supposedly supernatural and transcends time and space. Science seeks to explain the in's and out's of the world; how it works, what it's made of, etc. The only way that science and religon "disagree" is on certain theories, ie. the big bang and evolution. These theories require no supernatural being for them to be accurate or correct. Yet many theists have reconciled their faith with the two and hold that god was the driving force, so to speak, behind both of them.

I do not think so. As I understand it them not ageeing is what makes one religion and the other science.

First of all there are many religions and none of them can agree with each other on the nature of God. Second of all I don't really think that science considers the nature of God in the same way that religion does. It's apples and oranges. No real way to compare them.

nope...as stated above by others science is concerned with the physical nature of systems and processes. it can ...point towards God...or it might point away...these are questions to be answered by the philosopher. unfortunately, most current science has been hijacked by forces extremely intent on rejecting the existence of God or the influence of God in the natural processes of the universe. both of which are impossible to do or prove. it is sad, that pure science has to take such strident sides. scientists of good will, can believe both sides of the God issue without condemning the other for their personal views. or upsetting their research.

They could eventually. ~+~

Some might and then again some might even agree on nature, but the majority will always be in disagreement!
