Sometimes, science and religion come into conflict. this is because: science and religion must disagree. science and religion can coexist just fine with a little effort, but sometimes choose not to do so.

I'm struggling with the wording of the second choice. My background is physics and most of the people I know are dumbfounded by the vastness of space, the laws that govern physics, and the beauty and simplicity of the way the universe explains itself. I have met people who do not agree with my assessment of the Universe, but they are in the minority and they are not fools for declining to agree. 

I am trying to say that Religion and Science can coexist and many people feel this coexistence to be true without question. People pray for example who also manipulate complex mathematical ideas. We don't choose conflict without reason, but coexistence is always possible. It only takes men and women of good will to make it work.
