I believe in both. I see no contradiction in this. Science covers what has been observed and proven, but it takes a greater power to explain the unexplainable. The Greater power is also, by its nature unprovable. For instance, we know that there was a Big Bang of some sort, and about atoms and sub particles and quantum mechanics with science. We know there used to be dinosaurs with science, and there are some similarities between dinosaurs and modern animals. But I think it takes a greater power to explain what caused the Big Bang, and what caused the change between dinosaur fossils and todays animals. Theories are not facts.

I don't "believe in" either of them.
It's a bit of an apples and oranges question though. Science isn't a thing to be believed in, it is a way of looking at the world. Science doesn't make claims to have created the universe and be infallible
Science is more than just a random collection of boring facts you have to memorize to pass an exam.
Science, or the scientific method, is simply the best way ever developed to study the natural world and answer questions about how things work. The 'why' is much harder, though sometimes science can answer that. Science is dispassionate, the truth exists whether you "believe" it or not.

Everyone believes in science when they get sick and want the best that medicine has to offer. A greater power? That could mean a lot of different things. There is a growing controversy about UFOs of late as more and more sightings are happening. Many are being dismissed as weather balloons, or secret military projects but not all. If other civilizations have the the advanced scientific knowledge to get to our planet and we can't get to theirs, then that's a greater power isn't it?

I believe Science and God are not mutually exclusive. God explained creation to man in a basic way that was understandable in the time the Bible was written. Example: The Bible says God said "Let there be light," and Science says it all started with a big bang. There are many other parallels that no one knew about in the days the Bible was written. God as a higher intelligence is far beyond what any of us can comprehend. There is no beginning and no end. You can ponder that thought alone endlessly. I know this with every fiber of my being: there is a God, he loves us ALL, and this earth is not our home. Jesus Christ died for all of our sins and is the son of God.

I believe in the invisible dragon in my closet. It tells me the truth about the secrets of life, the universe and everything. Science, on the other hand, doesn't require my belief at all. No matter what I believe, Hydrogen still gets compressed into Helium with the resultant emission of energy in the sun's core, and objects still fall towards the earth's center at 9.8 m/s^2. Science is cool like that.

Both.
But I do not believe that life came from natural processes and chance. I believe that God created it.
I do believe that the scientific method is a great way to find truth based on observations.
Honest science means we learn about what God has made.

Since science is not truth but is only conditional truth (logic), I will believe in a greater power.
At least I have a chance at being correct.

Both. But I don't "believe" in science anymore than I believe in history or geometry. Science is just much like trivia, but religion penetrates the soul.

Is it a popularity contest?
One does not "believe" in science. One follows the precepts of the scientific method as a way of determining factual data.
I do not believe in a greater power.
