Well it actually can. You don't have to support it but it doesn't mean it can't. A Satan Worshipper can still be a scientist, a person who likes to experiment with chemicals and study astrology. Heck, in fact, maybe learning how to mix chemicals and follow the movement of the stars can help them practice their faith better.

Just like Evolution and Creationism are incompatible. Realistically.
Still doesn't show how a person can't be both.
Well when I said 'realisically' at the end.... of that post, I basically meant that you could say you believe in both....but that doesn't make them TRULY compatible...because they contradict each other...and science isn't usually compatible with contradictions; only religion is....
It can be someone's opinion that religion and science are compatible; but just because it's true for THEM doesn't mean it scientifically true...and if it isn't based on scientific evidence...it's not science, and if it's not science it's just faith... So science isn't scientifically compatible with religion....science is only religiously compatible with religion and science is based on evidence...never faith...and since religion is based on faith not science...and science is never based on faith..... SCIENCE AND RELIGION ARE REALISTICALLY INCOMPATIBLE. People can believe they're compatible...but that doesn't make them compatible. If you believe they're compatible but they're not...that's just a delusion disguised as compatibility...not compatibility.
