There is, of course, the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-overlapping_magisteria#Non-Overlapping_Magisteria_.28NOMA.29]NOMA [/url]approach put forward by Gould. However, more important to me is not that there is not overlap, but that in cases of overlap, one has to take priority over the other. So long as science is not ignored in order to adhere to dogma, there is no problem. The problem comes when reality is simply brushed away in favor of primitive literature. Religion must be able to adapt to our increased understanding of reality, or else it simply looks foolish. We see this, of course, in all of the anti-evolution uproar, among many other things. So can they? Absolutely. Do they? Depends entirely on the people in question. The whole "how do you if ethics if not from god" thing is ridiculously old and over played. Refer to the past 20 threads about the subject if you need an answer on that one yet again...
