Granted, this is one of those areas where even some people I think are really smart disagree with me, but I do think there's some measure of correlation there, at least among the intellectually honest.

To some degree, I think science is its own religion, or a rejection of religions. I feel like you can't both believe that:

A) The answers are to be found in interacting with the world, exercising human intellect, and basically applying the principles of the scientific method

and

B) The ultimate answers are either unknowable, or are "Because God wanted it to be that way."
