    Religion and Science conflict because they make irreconcilably different claims about reality, and have fundamentally different epistemologies.

    They disagree as to what truth is and how it can be determined.

    Religious people who cannot find the ‘faith’ to ‘believe’ in Science are people who have been brainwashed into religious extremism, which shapes their entire worldview and acts as their default mode of understanding reality.

    These are people who would rather kill all the Scientists as heretics, as they have often done throughout history.

    Their answer would be that Science will not go on if they… destroy all non-religious education, throw the Scientists into jail, or just kill them.
