Now that's not to say that the two can't co-exist in a society; the fact that we are making better scientific progress than ever before even though religion is still plays such a huge role is proof that they can co-exist.

What are some tenets of the christian faith that would contradict science?

Jesus supposedly walked on water, transformed water into wine, magically healed cripples and lepers, and rose from the dead. If I recall correctly it is a crucial crux of Christianity to believe that stuff happened.

It'd be easy to explain how much of the Old Testament contradicts science, but I'm sure you're aware of that and I'm sure I'd get a "Christians don't follow the OT" response
