Here's an interesting little analogy I thought of the other day. In the theory of Speciai Relativity (SR) the result of any experiment is the same if the entire experiment is moving at constant speed in a constant direction, so there is really no way to tell if you are stopped or moving at a constant speed, so the concept of "absolute rest" is not really meaningful from a point of view of science (you can only be "not moving" with respect to something, like the planet Earth for example).
Somebody who believes in God is kind of like somebody who believes that they are at absolute rest. There is no way to prove or disprove that claim, scientifically speaking, but if it makes them happy and it isn't doing anybody any harm then there's nothing wrong in believing that.
The trouble comes, of course, when somebody else believes just as strongly in a completely different god, or when they are moving at 100 miles per hour towards the other believer and claiming that it is they, not the other guy, who is actually in a state of absolute rest. If the two believers are firm in their beliefs they may choose to disagree amicably as they pass each other, or if they are fundamentalists they may choose to blow the heads off the heretics and unbelievers. This is where religion (and unprovable beliefs in general) stop being harmless and start to become a real problem for society.
Perhaps that is the real answer to the "science verses religion" debate. Science deals in relative things, religion deals in absolutes. Science is perfectly compatible with any given religion but two different religions are fundamentally incompatible with each other. Hence there are plenty of Christian scientists and plenty of Islamic scientists but no Christian Islamists.
My philosophy is that one should believe what one likes, but should let others believe what they like as well and should not try to blow the heads off those who disagree with you. Don't try to push your absolutes on someone else who may have their own absolutes already. We can all agree as long we only speak in relative terms ("this guy is at rest relative to the Earth") rather than in absolute terms ("this guy is at absolute rest). Relatives are universal and absolutes are personal. Science is universal and religion is personal.
