Someone once said that comparing science and religion was like comparing a tiger with a shark - each in its own element is supreme, but when either strays into the other’s territory, it's defenceless.

It's a very good analogy. Such polarity of world view is not confined to Science vs Religion, but seems to be one of the bad habits that man has picked up over the years. Thus, Protestant vs Catholic, Socialism vs Free Enterprise and Arab vs Jew. It's a brave soul who takes the intellectually lonely road of one who would try to pick and choose the best of both viewpoints. Perhaps AR was such a man?
