Just a follow-up on my last comment. One way to think about why science and religion are epistemological opposites is that good scientific theories have to be falsifiable; the major religions have no concept of falsifiability. Even really basic "laws" such as the laws of thermodynamics or of motion are falsifiable. But things like the resurrection of Jesus or the writing of the Qur'an, or the tablets on Mt Sinai are not falsifiable, or at least no authority in those religions would say they are.
