"Scientists Lawrence M. Krauss and Richard Dawkins compared notes from the front lines during breaks at a conference devoted to discussing clashes between science and religion held at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego late last year. In a dialogue they re-create here, the authors explained their respective tactics for engaging the enemy and tackled some of the questions that face all scientists when deciding whether and how to talk to the faithful about science:
Is the goal to teach science or to discredit religion? Can the two worldviews ever enrich one another? Is religion inherently bad? In an extended version of their conversation available here, the authors also delve into whether science can ever test the “God Hypothesis.”"
Like it said, this is a convo, not exactly an "article". I'm a huge Dawkins fan, and this is a good example of civil conversation between two viewpoints that is well articulated and interesting (to me, at least!)

NO ONE KNOWS THE TRUTH. At least science admits to their findings being based on testing and correlation. Religious faith clings to so-called truths interpreted by men, without proof or verification other than words.
The unexplainable is just that. We should stop trying to define our existence based on unfounded myth yet keep a healthy skepticism of science. - 3 years ago

Science should tell religion to shut the hell up if it has nothing intelligent to say.
