Does science disprove religion?

No. Science is lifting the car hood and observing what’s inside. Religion is asking why the car even exists in the first place.

What science reveals is the gears and cogs of the cosmos. Science observes how things are. But religion, and specifically Christianity, shows why things are how they are, and how things ought to be. 

I used to hear people pitting science against religion, as if scientific knowledge somehow wrote off the existence of God; as if evolution disproved a divine intelligence. But my newfound understandings opened my eyes to see how wrong I was. Science was looking under the car hood. Religion was asking why the car even exists. The more I found out about the engine, the more I marvelled at the engineer. Evolution said nothing about the causal agent behind it all, and Christianity said nothing about God’s mechanisms. They are two independent, complementary things.
