I added this book to my Amazon wish list.
Jerry Coyne recommended the book "Science and Religion: An Impossible Dialogue" by Yves Gingras (Author), Peter Keating (Translator).
What Jerry Coyne wrote:
Gingras’s book closes by describing how both scientists and believers either implicitly or explicitly recognize the existence of a conflict. He also dispels lame attempts to “reconcile” the areas, like the frequent claim that they’re compatible because some scientists are religious. And there’s a final bit, which I greatly liked because it comports with my own thinking: the argument that a “constructive dialogue” between science and religion is impossible because religion has nothing to contribute to the practice of science. In contrast, science can affect religious thinking and discourse, usually in a “destructive” way by contradicting religious claims.

Science is not compatible with religious bullshit. Science kills religious bullshit.
