I disagree with what is said here because our ancestors used science to understand God. This is how they came to the conclusion that there was a "higher force" at work in them and in their immediate enviornments in the first place.
They observed natural phenonmena such as the sun rising every morning as awesome (not to mention all of the benefits they got from this), they observed such natural phenomena as the change in whether, the vast oceans and seas, etc. as something they knew they had absolutely no control over.
They believed that something ultimately did control all of this, something much more powerfull then these aspects of nature.
They realized that all of this was apart of something greater and consumated a "whole"; They took the pieces of the whole and began to study it and then reconnect it back with the whole. This is science and ultimately how they came to a conclusion of an all powerfull force we now know of as "God."
You cannot separate science from "God" and really make any kind of sense.
