Why should anyone try and reconcile the two. Why I say this is because I've seen people trying to reconcile the two but their attempts make religion look lame as though science is the boss and religion the clerk who needs an approval. Science itself is based on a faith---a faith that all things work in accordance with fixed laws, ask a scientist to prove this and he will not be able to so fundamentally science itself rests on precarious footing so why ask a beggar for money. Science ought only give us these means by which we can learn about the Guru's teachings and thats all that science is needed for. Religion is far deeper and far more important than science. Infact let me go one step further to say that science only aggravates our problem of birth and death by keeping us distracted as we die each minute (yes we are dying go look up a bio book). So a higher thing ie religion can never be accepted by science coz it is out of scope of science. so why should anyone degrade religion by saying that oh science accepts what our holy book says...it is contempt of the book...if you have faith accept otherwise dont....science says if you and your friend are hungry and you have two chapatis then you eat both and let your friend die but religion says share it...religion teaches you how to live and more importantly how to attain the almighty...science has never accepted existence of God so at one end is science and at the other the teachings of realized men who have taken all suffering...i go with religion....just wanted to share these thoughts because it annoys me when i see people trying to reconcile religion and science and in the end all they do is degrade religion....</blockquote>
