Religion and Science

As simply as possible:

Personally I believe religion is about what happens outside/around empirical science. 

The creation of the universe? You can maunder on well into pure mathematics of pre-bang cosmology or poly-dimensionality (which, let's be honest, aren't giant steps from religion themselves) all you want, but ultimately the question becomes "how did it start?"...and there sits God. 

Philosophically, it's almost a Zeno's Paradox - every time science explains a little more (which, personally, I applaud as a triumph of rationality), it doesn't diminish God in the universe, far from it.
