Science and Religion dating?

Jane quickly walks up beside Joe, taking up whatever space was left of the sidewalk.
"Hey Joe!" Jane exclaims with a large grin on her, which threatened to cut her head in two.
"Oh, hey Jane, how are you today?" Joe asks, returning Jane's grin with a smile of his own.
"I am doing well, but", Jane stops mid sentence as she glances around, "Have you heard that Science and Religion are dating now?" They both continued to walk, but Joe was gaping at Jane.
"What?" Joe questions, unsure if he heard correctly.
"Science and Religion are dating" Jane shoots back bluntly.
"How did that happen? They are like, polar opposites!" Joe replies with utter bewilderment as he throws both of his arms in the air.
"I don't know, and I'm not sure if their relationship is going to work out", Jane lets out a sigh, "Expect drama." Joe groans at her last statement as he slaps himself in the face with the palm of his hand.

Conflict between science and religion has been going on for ages. An example may include the Roman Catholic Church's opposition against the claim that Earth went around the sun, which starts around the 1600s. The conflict even continues today, although it may be less prominent than it was in the past.

Education and religion conflict with each other in some classrooms and schools. IN TODAY'S SOCIETY it is seen less, but it is definitely there. As stated in one of the podcasts presented to us, some classrooms teach things more ambiguously, especially science, due to their stance with religion.

Anyway, religion and science have not always been on the best terms. Will they ever be able to "get along"? I think that may never be the case. The best each side can do is debate and not start a huge brawl. "Science VS Religion! Come watch the long-term rivals duke it out in the octagon!" Looks like they are even taking it into the octagon. Anyway, religion is based on faith, which is, "belief not based on proof" while science is a study, "dealing with facts". They are just like non-polar and polar, or angel and demon. They just won't mix.
