God. He is not fallible. He is the creator of man who is the creator of science. Man is fallible and therefore so is science.

The idea here is that you don't really have to believe in science. It does not require belief. What you are doing right now, using the Internet, is the reality of science. It doesn't matter if you believe in it or not. It is here, it exists.
It is the same as asking if you believe the sun exists or saying that you don't believe in electricity.
As far as God, it is a different idea. He exists exclusively in our imagination.He requires belief. He cannot be perceived with the five senses he gave us. No matter how much you try, how much you argument, he is still only in your imagination.

D. Russell Humphreys, Award-winning physicist:The churchgoing physicist addressed a conference at Harvard University:
"Being an ordinary scientist and an ordinary Christian seems perfectly natural to me…For others, however, it appears strange, even astonishing, that someone could be serious about science and about faith."
"Einstein's god, who is really just the laws of nature, is not for me," he said. "I'm strongly of the conviction that God is personal, and this is the foundation of my faith."
Albert Einstein-said (not a Christian, but a believer in an intelligent designer), when commenting about the universe: "God doesn't play dice", and he also said "the harmony of natural law...reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly-insignificant reflection." ...
Albert Einstein believed there was no inseparable contradictions between God and science, as reported in an essay he wrote Religion and Science: Irreconcilable? Christian Unitarian Register 127, (June, 1948) pages 19, 20.

I don't see why you have to pick just one. Science is just man's way of figuring out how everything works. God already has those answers, but He's given us the ability to think. I believe science helps strengthen a person's faith. It will be a long time before we have all the answers...if ever.

I cannot conceive reality as you do.
I believe in the One True God, Who commands that I must learn both science and religion. Science sheds light on matter, religion sheds light on spirit, so I must use both of these sources of light to get the true knowledge concerning God and His creation. Choosing one of the two is like a bird which tries to soar up with one wing.

I believe in the science of God. Some people have argued that if there is God, why is there suffering? However, I would like to point out that scientifically there is no such thing as cold, only the absence of heat. Heat is an energy, and when there is none of that energy it can only be described as the absence of said energy. When there is "cold" it doesn't mean that heat doesn't exist, just that it is absent from that particular isolated area. It's the same concept as darkness, the absence of light. Thus, I believe in God, and the absence of God.

I believe in both. I do believe in the big bang theory which is science. However, scientifically, you cannot explain the beginning of the big bang without a God. That microcosm we call singularity in science that was the speck that created the universe had to be created from something. IMHO, God.

I believe in God because God created science and everything else that there is.

I don't "believe" in either. I trust science to provide solutions to problems more than praying to the sky, though. Science, unlike God, can be tested and verified.

Why one? Can't God work through science? He is the beginning of all of it you know! Creating people to create the science, and He created natural science.

Religion is something that you believe in via faith or "gut feeling" or both.
Science is something that is reached by consensus through observation and experimentation.
Science isn't something that you "believe" in. Do you believe in televisions, vaccines, and rockets?
And yes, you can accept science and still be religious even though there is some serious conflict between the two.
