Throughout history, religion and science have clashed, yet many believe they can coexist. Some see faith as an obstacle to progress, while others view science as incomplete without spiritual understanding. Do you think they are inherently opposed, or can they complement each other? How do you personally balance scientific reasoning and religious beliefs?

I am a religious person but my religious believe is not dogmatic, I don't believe what the holy books tell. Therefore, I am still religious even though I believe in science. If you believe exactly what your religious books tell you, you will find that science will never reconcile with religion.
I believe religion and science can coexist, but they serve different purposes. Religion often addresses the "why" of existence, offering meaning and purpose, while science explains the "how" of the natural world. Both can enrich our understanding, but full reconciliation may be challenging due to their distinct approaches.
Science and religion can coexist; they address different questions—one explains how, the other explores why.
Sure, if science and religion are properly understood, they cannot be in contradiction This is because they concern different matters. Science and religion are like two different things looking at the world. The two look at the same world, but they show different aspects of the world
Religion and science address different questions, faith seeks meaning, while science explains mechanisms. Reconciliation is possible when both respect each other's domains. Many find harmony in believing science explains how life works, while religion explores why it matters.
