I think its very possible to believe in both science and God. I mean Science proves God is real. All those scientists that believe in evolution, I could give you 100 scientists who sought out to prove christianity WRONG through science, and ended up getting saved.
A good book to read is: The Case for Chirst by Lee Strobel.
Spirituality without religion? too a point. I would like to say that I dont really have religion, It's more of a relationship. It is not so much all the little things that you do that the church has done and what not, its having an intimate relationship with your Lord. So, yes I guess you can.
Maybe I am wrong, but thats what I feel. Its what in your heart that counts, not if you do this and that and whatever else the church claims you need to do other then accepting the Lord as your God and following Him!

Absolutely. Many people of science, reputable, tenured professors of huge universities have gone on record as believing in a Creator. There are xenogeologists in charge of tests in Mars Missions, Microbiologists, you name it. Alton Williams (Nuclear Physicist who worked as an astrophysicist at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center of NASA, associated with the Chandra X-ray telescope.
As to religion. As a person of reason, rationality, and logic I believe there can only be one "truth". I'm not saying that "everyone but me must be wrong". But that the search for truth can only lead to one place. I believe that the Bible's worst enemy is much of Christendom itself.

Yes.I believe you can be very spiritual and not belong to any religion.I also believe that God created science,he is the greatest scientist of all.He created all things.If we put all people on earth together we would be just a speck beside God.I think that is why so many can`t grasp that God is greater then everything.Man thinks he is so smart he tries to bring God down to his level.We are nothing compared to him.

yes, as long as you keep your definition of God so elusive that He cannot be disproven, perhaps even to the point where each scientic discovery "proves" your point. Science answers "How?" You can still have God answer all the "Why?"s
yes, spirituality, in my opinion, suffers from religious constraints. When you start asking all your spiritual questions to religious leaders, or referring to a single Holy Book, you'llalways get an answer, but rarely will it be as fulfilling as the truth.
maybe, since we are not Gods, and we do not know everything, purpose is something we can barely conceive of...
