Because religion and science work in opposite directions (mentally.) In religion you don't ask any questions and accept the answers given to you (supposedly by a higher being, God, Christ..etc.) Religion is about controlling the masses, a huge number of people act th same way, do the same rituals mostly at the same time and dress in like fashion. Bottom line in religion is the answers were given (usually thousands of years ago and you don't need to worry your little head about anything.
Science is about discovering and intelligent understanding of the universe around us. Most of the discoveries came about by asking the right questions. Why does the apple fall down not up? Why things accelerate at 32 ft/sec/sec? As you can see asking questions is not in the religious dogma.
I personally believe there is a creator, call him God if you wish. I also believe that the best he gave me was my mind and to not think and wonder and ask questions would be like rejecting His gift to me. So if my thinking plant doubts then an intelligent God would certainly understand.
I am not alone in claiming that the deeper we dive into physics, we run smack into theology.

Now imagine being a Catholic scientist, lol!
Science is based on fact and theory. Facts usually started out as theories... and then proven.
Religion started out as theory and never really proven to be fact... hence, faith. Religion grew out of ignorance of "how things worked" and kind of stuck around to explain the unexplainable.
Everyone has an opinion and usually believes their opinion is correct. Both groups think they're right... the way i see it... WHAT IF... God really existed and created everything and THEN evolution began creating the world as we now know it?
A scientist may believe that God exists but religious people won't believe that he doesn't. I know a lot of scientist that believe in God... I know NO religious people that believe that science created the world. I truly believe that there are more ignorant religious people than there are scientists... ignorant in regards to not knowing.

Because we weren't there to witness it and we have a hard time taking the word of old books and old theories.

Because both sides quite often have trouble seperating "truth" from "fact".

Science is proven, religion is faith. They don't go hand in hand.
