Science fights against ignorance (lack of knowledge).
Religion fights against everything (including itself).
So end the end you have to either believe in what you can observe and test. Or believe in what you can't observe and test. That is the basis of why they are diametrically opposed as belief systems.
But the best outcome are those people that can hold conflicting beliefs without imploding. Those people are rare. Most people can't take the dissonance and mental stress.

@canusernamebemyusername Interesting yes. I suppose I fall into this opposing belief system, except that they are not opposing ideas to me at all. I suppose it's the same for Carl Sagan, Charles Darwin and so many others.
