3. I'd have to say that in my opinion

science and religion have co-existed from the earliest days of human activity. For instance, one archaeologist stated that in the time frame of 1 million years ago there is some evidence of the controlled use of fire while by the time of 500 thousand years ago the controlled use of fire was a universal achievement for humans. The people who used fire to smelt bronze or brass, or iron or used the kiln in making pottery or producing glass were using science no matter how backward we see their religious concepts. I think that from the beginning religion was developed from superstition but science has always existed in reality and the same distinction applies today.
