I believe that science and faith can coexist because they have differing aims.

Science seeks to explain how objects in the physical universe react to each other, while faiths (and here I am referring to deity based faiths) intend to describe (or even proscribe) how we should behave within the universe.

For example, if I fire a gun at someone science will very accurately predict the trajectory of the bullet, it's momentum, the action and reaction (hence why the gun "kicks"), the effect of the bullet on human skin, the strength of human bone and how far the bullet will penetrate etc.

A faith will tell us if that particular behaviour is appropriate or not. Hopefully not!

In my opinion the difficulties occur when faiths attempt to describe how the universe works, and science tells us how to behave.
