>Science and religion are counter opposites.
Which is why we had Catholic monks developing major sciences including; Chemistry, Agriculture, Biology, Mathematics, Architecture, Astronomy, Mathematics etc.

>Religion is intrinsically tied to faith
You have that flipped around... By putting religion first you are implying that we already have faith in our lives and religion is another facet to it...

Also you have not defined 'Faith', it means; Deep Trust. We have Deep Trust in science as well, we have a Deep Trust in the Scientific Method... You've made an association fallacy...

>**yada yada** opposite of the scientific method.
Actually the Church was on the side of the scientific method during the events with Galileo and the heliocentric theory;

Galileo had 'Blind Faith' in a theory involving the Tides, he thought the rotation of the planet and it's orbit would add or subtract from the motion of the tides.

He even declared that there would be a high tide at mid night and noon.

In the face of the obviously incorrect nature of his 'Proof' he simply said the underwater terrain interfered with the High / Low tides.

The church gave him a compromise to continue teaching it as a theory, until he gained a better proof.
