What is science's position on what/who created the universe? What is the position on the soul and the afterlife?
Religion can give answers to things we have zero evidence for, but are extremely important to us, that one can accept on faith.
I dont see why they are mutually exclusive unless you are dealing with a specific teaching from a specific religion that contradicts accepted scientific facts.
A belief in god, to me, certainly does not contradict anything scientifically.
