Evolution Vs. Religion

As I have stated in previous posts, I've never understood why religion and science are considered mutually exclusive. A friend sent me two of the following links regarding the evolution vs. intelligent design and they are well worth the read.

A quote from one of the articles:

"The truth is that many scientists accept evolution and believe in God -- and in a natural world so complete that it strives toward perfection all on its own, without need of a supernatural designer to keep it going."
