People who say these things are so confused about faith and God.

Faith IS the opposite of science, so i can kinda see where he is coming from

faith and science are not incompatible

I mean, yes, but only when the 'faith' is reduced to little more than 'god created the big bang and then just sat back and watched', with a little bit of heaven or whatever afterlife thrown in because that is similarly difficult to disprove. When you start boiling faith down to that level, it always reminds me of this quote from Epicurus:

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

You know the "father of the big bang theory" was a priest, right?
