Knowledge and Religion(caution: may die of boredom)

They say science is the opposite of religion that the two doesn't match because of conflicting beliefs. Science deals with facts and Religion deals with faith. Polar opposites but in my opinion share the same goal. Religion involves rituals to reach "God". Science tries to reveal every thing about anything around us. It tries to gain omniscience, the ability to know everything. Religion says "God is the only one who knows everything". Religion is contented on knowing that and just settles for miracles to happen. Science however tries to explain everything. But why? In my opinion, we want to gain knowledge to become closer to "God" since God knows everything. The same is true for religion. We try to become closer to him by praising him, doing rituals. In these manner, science and religion have relatively the same goals. However, very small differences appear to seperate them. Religion is content in knowing that we are in the same likeness as God. Science, however tries to help us quench our thirst, the thirst to beat everything around us. Science argues that if we are in the same likeness as "God", why can't we be like him. The true goal of science in my opinion is to bring us closer to "God" in terms of knowledge. To be in the same league as him or to even surpass him is our true goal in creating science no matter how we try to hide it.
