It is possible to combine the two; to believe in science, but also believe that a diety is responsible for "creating it", or setting it all in motion. Catholic Nuns that I work with have that ability.

Or that existence IS the diety; that we are all manifestations of the divine (but that's not what it says in Genesis, and that has to be literally true - or the entire bible is delegitimized).

binary thinking strikes again.
