Are the words in the title intended to be as they are?, or are they just an example of a common error in grammar? Viz. "science and religion's search for truth": if we think, as we might, that science and religion have their own respective searches for truth, then the first word should be "science's"; but if the writer is making a point that they both share one and the same search, then let it stand.

Guy Consolmagno is quite right, that a theology based on scientific ignorance isn't worth the worship. But such a theology comes not so much from Christians' alleged principled objections to science as such, but rather from their (rather modern) idolatry of the Bible, and their finding their own security only in a strictly literal interpretation of biblical texts. Fundamentalists were first foes of critical biblical scholarship before ever they became foes of deep-time cosmology and geology, and Darwin's theory of the origin of species and their subsequent diversification.
