Science vs Religion

Just read an article on Big Bang Theory and Biblical text in Genesis in CNN page. Below is the comment  on another comment from one of the readers. I think it is well written and in accordance with my personal opinion.  Just to share with you all. fr C.S.Liu

" This lady is not really riding on anyone's coattails. This is an "opinion piece" located in the "opinion section" of a blog dedicated to religion, faith and belief.
Science has not answered the questions many are asking about the origin of the universe. And it will probably never answer "why" according to some of the world's most brilliant minds. So it is up to us to ask and express our opinions on that matter.
“Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values.
The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
Science keeps religion from sinking into the valley of crippling irrationalism and paralyzing obscurantism. Religion prevents science from falling into the marsh of obsolete materialism and moral nihilism.” – Martin Luther King, Jr
'Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.' – Albert Einstein
I've seen a lot of 'internet-atheist' non-scientists ride on the coat tails of scientists and claim science is on "their side". That is just silly though, not really infuriating."
