In my opinion, I don't think science and religion will ever see life the same way. Since I go to church often, we always talk about the differences between scientific theories and what's written in the bible. An example would be the scientific theory of evolution. Darwin says that humans evolved from apes and through time, evolved to how we look like today. However, in the bible, it says that God creates humans such as when he created Adam and Eve from the dust of the Earth. Another example is how the Earth was created. Religion says that it was God who created the universe and Earth in six days. But science says the whole universe was created from a "big bang" and believe that the universe and Earth developed from many different chemicals and different processes through time. One last example would be human nature. Religion says that because of the story of Adam and Eve, people are naturally born with sin and must have some kind of spiritual guidance that would make them "good" and be accepted by God. However, science says that people are influenced by their surroundings which affects their whole-being.
So what do I believe? Since I go to church all the time, of course I'm going to believe that whatever is written in the bible is true. I also think that the scriptures in the bible are far more believable than what science teaches because first of all, it was God who commanded people to write stuff in the bible and we should never question anything that is written! But that doesn't mean I'm against science and think that schools should stop teaching their theories. Although I believe what they believe is not true, I think it's interesting to learn from a different perspective.
