I think one of the big problems with the religion/science debate is trying to separate the two. Even in my Mormon Sunday school classes, as a teenager, we learned about quantum physics (they just had other names for it). I was taught that Jesus was able to turn water into wine because he was in a higher spiritual platform and could communicate/control the spiritual aspect of the water. All matter has 2 parts physical and spiritual. He used the same trick to walk on water etc... Any of us could learn the same tricks...I mean miracles.

Both are means of understanding life. But when they split neither work right. Science wants to explain 'how' everything works but ignores the why. Religion alone tends to go for blind faith, it works-who cares why or how-god is mysterious.

One of Einsteins biggest faults (in my opinion) was that he felt the theory of relativity conflicted with his views on god/religion. So he didn't pursue it as much as he could/should have. It challenged his religious beliefs so he decided it must be wrong.
