What your poster doesn't explain is that scientists don't typically believe in "Religion" they believe in God
That is a VERY IMPORTANT distinction...
One is a bunch of human gibberish and Iron Age nonsense the other is God
and they typically have nothing to do with each other
So, Yes:
Science and Religion do indeed conflict with each other
However, Science and God are not a problem
in fact many scientist would tell you that Science IS THE LANGUAGE of God
I have no problems with your beliefs. Of course there is some conflict, you may believe there is more than I do. I'm more of a spiritual than a religious believer. Maybe due to my degree's in Math and Science, with Zoology & History majors, and Computer Science. Back in the 1980's, My college adviser, a well known professor, he would show up on Johnny Carson with his Golden Eagles, and I discussed science and religion, on a field trip to the West River area of ND, MT, WY and SD. I gave a speech to his class, on why Dinosaurs were warm blooded, and evolved into the birds of today. There was really no conflict with my religious or spiritual background. Spirituality is really needed in science, when it's absent, you see people creating for the military, destroying nature and their fellow man.
