Science deals with things that can be observed, experimented on and dealt with theoretically or empirically. Religion deals with private revelation, personal spiritual feelings, religious experiences and old books. The two have nothing to do with each other. Religion isn't science, true, and it'd be wrong to try and bring religion into a scientific discussion (*cough*intelligentdesign*cough*), but religion's no more "anti-science" than art or sport or /b/ is.
Things that ARE anti-science are things that contradict science, that make testable claims and fail. Things like astrology, creationism (which is probably the source of the percieved science/religion conflict), UFO cults, the Xenu story, homeopathy, the paranormal etc.

That's cute, but it's also wrong. Private revelation is anti-science, and ascribing unwarranted importance, or a divine nature, to personal spiritual feelings and ``religious'' experiences is as well.
NOMA is intellectually void.

Every time religion states that a divine entity exists, it FAILS. Such an entity would be detectable if they are talking about it, and EACH AND EVERY TIME, this entity can't be detected. Since the assumption of a divine entity is the foundation of all religious thought, then all religious conclusions are IN ERROR.
Your so-called argument choked on the cock of logic and drowned in the semen of reason. You FAILED.

Where did all the matter needed to start the Big Bang come from?

No. Forced redefinition of commonly used words with an already accepted meaning in order to either influence other peoples' thought or express political opinion is antithetical to the recording and transmission of information about objective reality that lies at the bottom of science as it is practiced today.

Where did your purported Creator come from? If a Creator (note: which you have ZERO EVIDENCE FOR!) can be eternal, then Big Bangable material can be eternal.

No, since the Big Bang hasn't spent any time coming down the mountain and issuing proclamations and all that other CRAP that the religitards believe in.
Tell me, fuckface, if we worship the Big Bang for its divinity, how do you arrive at parables? How do you arrive at ANY of that anthrophilic CRAP that the religitards claim happened (note: with NO EVIDENCE whatsoever)?
Religion is fail. That's the cold hard fact that you can't face.
