You've missed the point. There is no "disproof" of science or religion
implied by my question. The question is whether it is possible for the
two to share the same axis, or whether they are orthogonal, as Dan says
(and I agree). If they are not orthogonal, then it should be possible
and logically consistent to apply the methods of one to the other. My
question is meant to explore the consequences of applying science to
religion.
