Who/ What is God? If you are referring to the God created by man. No. Bcoz that God hs no basis. If you are referring to a power that created this universe and everything in it, yes God and science go hand in hand. Science is the way to understanding God. If that power is God its a part of everything in this universe, including you and me. So how can it not be a part of the science we discover. We only discover waht is already there, science has not till date invented one thing that has not been already present. Through science we have learnt to harness powers. Its more like learning to drive. You learn to master the brake, clutch, gears and still manage to enjoy the ride.

Of course. The One who created science has no problem agreeing with science. Once scientist get everything figured out, it will mesh perfectly with God. Problem is, science isn't there yet. Every week there is a new theory, new ideas, new proof of something that a month later is superseded by the next new proof.
For instead, how many of you remember the Raptors in Jurassic Park, chasing Kristen Dunst while she hides in the kitchen cupboard? Remember what they looked like - all greenish and lizard like. Well, duh, now they are telling us that was wrong. The raptors were actually on their way to evolving into birds. And I watched them show the same dinosaurs on "Walking with Dinosaurs" now covered with pre-feathers and having a feathery plume on their head. How soon before they change that?
I remember learning in high school that the sun gets its power from gravity, which is causing it to collapse and releases tremendous light and heat. Wrong, because if it was collapsing it couldn't possible be millions of years old. So instead it now gets its power from atomic explosions within its core. How soon before they change that?
Christians, and other religions too, only have an issue with science when it comes along with some "big new discovery" that absolutely and positively proves that there is no God and all religion is false and you have to thrown all the sacred books of eveybody. Because we know that within six months, the theory will be changed, amended, discarded, disproven, or whatever. They all are, because science is not yet an exact "science".
The day science finally does figure it all out, it will mesh perfectly with the God who invented it.

Define "mesh"?
If you're asking whether creationism should be taught along with Darwinism is science classes, then no. Creationism belongs in a Philosophy class, whereas evolution is scientific theory.
If you mean should science go poking around trying to prove/disprove the existence of God/Jesus/miracles/anything else, again, I'd have to say no.
However, if you mean that someone can come to a reconciliation between the facts of science and the faith of their spirituality, then I give a hearty yes. :)

God IS science, including those features of it we don't even now about. By "science" I mean the possibly infinite set of physical laws that made the universe possible, and that continue to control everything in it and its continuing evolution.
Only religious fundamentalist bimbos refuse to recognize the simple and elegant beauty of this logic.

Maybe - if you think about it this way : Maybe god created everything, including the science behind how everything works and he did it so that we would discover it. Maybe it was his plan. I am not religious but this is how my husband explained his ideas to me.

I don't think so as one is based on belief, and one on proof. Those two just do not go together. On the other hand, can anyone actually prove that God doesn't exist?

not really. back then in ancient times, science wasn't allowed to be taught or anything, since it interfered with how the world was created.

Absolutely. In fact, they have to in order to avoid another Scopes Monkey Trial.

god have a good sense of humor, he's tricky with the science we've learned.

Sure, it can. I honestly doubt God would have given us curiosity if he didn't want us to understand the world around us.
