Both.
The more I study science, especially the natural sciences, the more I can't believe that we are a cosmic accident that climbed out of the primordial ooze.

If you're looking for spirituality go religion. If you need to learn about the physical universe go science. Its not a choice between them because one doesn't teach the other. Like you don't ask science to ask a question of morality or read a holy book to search atomic definitions.

Science has more than doubled our average life expectancy over the last couple hundred years, it allows us to communicate with people who are far away from us, it allows us to travel otherwise incredible distances in just a few hours; in short, science has made our lives better.
What has religion done for us? It's fought science from the first, ever since Galileo was accused of heresy for saying the Earth revolved areound the sun, up until today, when it tries to get evolution (a theory supported by overwhelming physical evidence) thrown out of the classroom and replaced with "I don't know, God must've done it."

I prefer them both. Without God there is no science. Christianity loves science as it is constantly proving what was said all along in the Scriptures.><>

I don't believe that organized religion serves humanity well, based on its past track record.
However, having said that, I also don't believe that science and spirituality are necessarily mutually exclusive concepts either. Neither has sufficiently disproven the other (ie: creationism vs. evolution) to convince me that the other is "wrong" or non-existent.

Someday the world will grow up and learn that science and religion do not NEED to conflict if we don't want them to.

I choose science, science lead me to religion. And religion brought up science in the first place. so... how can I really say it? They both go hand in hand. They can be separated, but things must be left out in order to do so.

Well I actually have no practical use for religion. Science is simply a tool that all of us use every day some times with out realizing we do.

science and religion are not polar opposites, I believe in God, in His Son Jesus, and I like to know where scientists are going and what they are finding. you don't have to shun scientific data to accept God. Some scientific theory in the realm of origins is of course at odds with religion, however where scripture and factual science connect there is no discord.

Why should we deprive ourselves of the shining lamps? True science and true religion are both needed for discovering the innumerable mysteries of the world of creation and the world of revelation.

Neither one is absolute and both are products of mankind's ingenuity. On the whole though, I think I would prefer science. It's just so much more clear-cut and rational.
