Oh, on the subject of religion and science, religion has a large impact on the birth and popularity of science through the ages. If you numb science down to it's first method, which is observing something fully, like a tree's leaf and how it corresponds to the tree's shape, you have the main reason why it's different than religion. Religion is also observation, but through a unilateral manner. The answer is either God, man, or the person in charge's opinion on what the tree represents, or if it's valued at all.
Religion came first because of our rather stupid belief that if I didn't create that object, somebody else did. It's not really a God perspective here, but an observation. Science is observing something fully. So science has and always will be the way to go, as it doesn't directly demand anything but effort and a mind to understand it.
