I don't understand why science and religion have to be a loggerheads.

Science is all about gathering data and analyzing it.

Pre Big Bang, there is no data, so science has to shut up really and then well I guess it is really a matter of faith !

I also don't understand why religion has to be so intolerant over a theory as blatantly "in your face" as evolution. It is not like it proves there is no God (see above).

You would have thought that after the old "world being flat" or the "sun revolving round the earth" which were also religious doctrine at various points in time, that were just wrong, the church would have the good sense to at the very least moderate its teachings about the world around it.

If a God it telling man how it all happened why would they tell him / her stuff that was wrong ? What about dinosaurs ? You would think such impressive creatures would warrant a mention ?
