I don't necessarily believe that science and religion "get along" per se. I do believe however that they can and should be reconciled. For the most part this requires that adherents of western religion let go of their own fundamentalist attachment to view points that are simply outmoded or even just plain false.
I don't see anything wrong with allowing scientific inquiry and discovery to perpetuate the evolution of religion. Yes, man's relationship with "god", even our own concept of "god" should not be exempt from evolution, and it has been western religion's fear based attachment to narrow literalist view points that have perpetuated the low level of consciousness that western religious thought has been stuck in for too long now.
