They're not. Be clear -- the antagonism is one way: Religion despises science because it takes the mystery out of the universe.
Science is neutral on the existence of a deity. It cannot even ask the question, "is there a god or not?" so it doesn't even try, let alone to determine anything else about such a deity if it exists.

Religion doesn't pursue truth, it simply claims to know all the answers. Science seeks truth and admits it has more questions than answers.

It isn't religion and science, it's the members that are antagonistic because the concepts are at odds with each other.

Religion is (or can be) antagonistic towards science because the religious know that religion is not a route to truth, whereas science is, and that threatens their beliefs.

Religion thinks it already knows the answers to everything while science tries to find the answers.
When science finds something that might contradicts religion; religious fanatics try to “debunk” the science. Most of the time with no evidence and sheer ignorance.

They aren't always. But for the times that they are, I think that it is because they approach questions from different ends.
Science starts at the beginning of a problem and attempts to find a solution.
Religion starts at the end, the "solution" and attempts to work backwards through the problems.
I hope that makes sense, it did in my head.

actual, faith actively avoids many truths. faith is theory in a series of comments and policies as laid out interior the sacred texts. If new innovations from yet another source, say, medical examine, includes gentle, the sacred texts might desire to continually, continually be real, and subsequently the recent data might desire to be twisted or disregarded. technological wisdom, on the different hand, relies upon on changing previous innovations with extra ideal innovations. it is the final thank you to confirm certainty.

Science is facts and logical possible theories. Religion is illogical dogma and fairy tales.
