what I don't get is why people can't believe in both science and religion
example: evolution could have been part of God's design...
example: Big Bang could have been when God created the universe
and so on so forth
they are not mutually exclusive, you can have both...

Remove God from the equation.

Does it still fit to our boundaries of science?


I think so... we can replace God with a matter that has always existed (more plausible because we KNOW this exists, and it's completely tangible.)
And Quantum Mechanics is slowly progressing, and according to our extent of it, matter acts in unorthodox ways, sometimes producing inexplicable events.
Are either of these definitive ends? Probably not, but neither is "God" (In my opinion)...

Evolution could be part of "God's plan" , but it calls into question the transition from an
"mortal soul" to an "immortal soul". (Animal to Man)

I believe it was an allegory for the rise of Stalin/about the effects of communism.
