Science can not prove the existence of God. And nobody can. It is part of the mystery of God. At some point, science always leads to God.

Wrong. Science never leads to god. Honestly, try to give me one example where science resorts to the 'god did it' hypothesis. There is no need to apply to god what science explains perfectly well.

Science and religion were never the same thing. In the past, humans had to use religion to fill in the gaps that science was not yet advanced enough to answer. The god of the gaps is no longer necessary, and it is downright absurd to believe it is.
Science and religion can never be reconciled. To be religious is to have faith, and faith evades the need for evidence, and even requires belief in spite of contrary evidence. This is the opposite of everything science is.

Religion is a belief and worship of a superhuman controlling power while science is knowledge of things known by test and reason. With science you can find answers by observing them and testing them. With religion you can only use faith since there is no way to prove religion correct.

I find them to be mutually exclusive. You can believe in both.
