Okay so the question of all questions, as posed by our scientific community, is wither or not God and “reason”, as they deem it, coexist. I don’t intend to start a fight here but it would appear that at least one scientist thinks it is possible.
British cosmologist Stephen Hawking said as he prepared to experience the weightlessness of space travel that of all the mysteries of the universe, he wants to know how it is that humans are in it. "The universe is so big, so smooth and yet just right enough for us to exist," Hawking said in an interview with Reuters.
Now it seems as though he is relating that the mere existence of man is a miracle in the scientific sense. The fact that the universe or more exactly the planet earth is as it is makes it idea for human interaction. That coupled with the concept that it is all some big crapshoot of an accident makes it even harder to understand.
Even when offering his own rebuttal Hawking cannot help but relate the truth of the universe while trying to explain his job and maintain his funding.
"I'm not religious in the normal sense," Hawking said. "I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws."
It is very evident by his statements that science cannot offer a valid explanation to the origins of man and that the concept of God is a valid option.
I’m not saying, I’m just saying is all…

Well, it can explain the *origins* of man. Just not the why or the who. It can possibly determine the technique of creation, but it can't determine who the creator is.
Science and God are not inherently at odds. Religion and science may be, since religion is less about “the facts as we see them” and more about “The Truth as We believe it to be have been revealed”(this applies to religion in general, not just Christianity).
