Both religion and science is the desire to understand what one can't see, hear or touch.
Picture the first person to look upon the stars and wonder what's out there, would this be a scientific or religious thought? I'd say a little of both and has been every since.

If what you say is true then it needs to go back much further to the caveman who asked himself if he could harness fire, draw pictures on a wall, make friends with a wild animal, make clothes to wear and a shelter to live in when it was cold, comprise a family unit of a man and woman with children, hunt and use the parts that are not edible, dispose of the dead with ceremony. This also is part of intelligence and religion. Some creatures with memory such as the elephant also do a few of these things. Does memory preempt intelligence or religion?

Science is that thought. Religion is I wonder what God I could make up to get me into power.

In the begining religion, science and philosophy were all intertwined.

Yes.
It's not a desire to understand. It's a mental shortcut, seeing connections where such are either tenuous or non-existent.
It's where our spirituality comes from, and our creativity. It gives us religion... and engineering!
