The big question of science is "How ... ?"
The big question of religion is "Why ... ?"
The two solve different problems and could coexist without so many animosity on each side.
The big question of religion is "Who...?"
And more importantly, religion has never actually answered a "why" question in a reasonable manner. So it is objectively useless. It is not how you answer "why" questions.
Assuming your distinction is actually meaningful, here's a question for you: "How do you properly answer 'why' questions?"
Maybe the answer is that there is no scientific answer to a "why" question ? The question has no scientific answer. In maths, some equations have no solution, some proposition are not provable with common axioms. The "why questions" are just question without scientific answer.
If you have a question with no possible scientific answer, then it has no answer at all. You do not get better results by refusing to use the best tools.
Religious flamewars aren't ok on HN. Please don't.
