I don't know. They get along just fine in my world. Maybe that's why I rarely fuss at people for their beliefs. ;)

Whats not wrong with believing in god or a higher power? Especially the Christian god, that guy is rutheless.
BTW, I believe in evolution because it has a lot more evidence to back it up than some sky daddy who watches your every move. But I guess it works the other way around for religious people.

I don't know. All I can think of is that science often counteracts biblical myth. Science has been at war with religion since the beginning. I think believers think advancement is aginst god.

Because God would have said that it happened that way.
The math of evolution requires an infinite physical time span. However, science has discovered that the universe had a beginning--so there is not enough time to make evolution even remotely possible.
Science has no hope for what occurs after life ceases. It has nothing on which to observe or test. Once a person dies, and is dead for a day or two--science, in all its knowledge, cannot bring them back for discovery for what lies beyond.
Jesus was dead for three days, and proved that He had the keys to death and the grave by raising Himself from the dead. He made clear what to expect in the afterlife. He provides free access to eternal life if you would just believe His report.
It seems as if science today is more concerned with discrediting the given evidence in order to hold on to its own lack of knowledge. And thus, those who hold to science for their religion, choose the dangerous road of "taking ones chances that the Bible is false" regarding the afterlife. A dangerous gamble indeed seeing eternity is in the balance.
Science is limited to the physical. Your soul is eternal. The Bible deals with what is eternal where science cannot venture. The physical realm will pass away, and science will pass away with it. What you want to do is latch onto that which will last forever, and that is the Word of God.
Science deals with understanding and comprehending creation. Religion deals with the understanding and comprehension of the Creator.
1 Peter 1:23-25
...having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because
All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,
But the word of the LORD endures forever.

Well, no 'higher power' or God exists. That does it for me.
Science and religion are bitter enemies because they both make polar opposite claims for various natural phenomena. And they're both fighting for the same real estate: the inside of people's heads.

It's not that the science and religion don't get along.
It's the people.

They're like 2 estranged brothers who have been mad at each other so long that they have forgotten why they got mad at each other in the first place.

They can and often do. It's only those with an incomplete understanding of both that have difficulty.
