no, science at it's ends is philosophy. Religion is a small subset of philosophy. When religion attempts to do science, as was the case for much of it's history, it is invariably spectacularly wrong, and kills Galileo. When science attempts to do religion, it does so with spectacular success, locating the brain centers that correspond to mystical experience, and revealing the unfathomable complexity of the quantum world of which we are all a part.
Science doesnt care if you 'believe' it, it describes truth. Religion says 'believe this' even if it can be shown to be untrue. Or not. It calls this 'faith', and fortells that those who 'chose' not to have it will suffer for eternity in a fiery pit. Which, for you weekend christians, was first 'revealed' by Jesus himself - there is no mention of hell in the old testament, just the rather earthly punishments of pestilence and theocratic genocide.
And why the hell are you poking your noses into evolutionary biology ? Why not subatomic physics ? Theres more there that needs explaination than in evo. bio, and you could try and wedge your disingenuous ideas of 'design' into school books that way..
