""Science and religion"" is one of those subjects where everyone knows a lot of things that just ain't so. This is because of the numerous urban legends about how the two fields have interacted historically and how they do so today. These false beliefs are ubiquitous in Western civilization, especially in academia, prompting many people to oversimplify the issues.

As one might expect, reality turns out to be much more complex than the stories suggest.
