It's typical of religious thinking to see unknowability in love, peace, life and death. These are multifaceted phenomena and many of their facets yield to investigation. Yes there are spiritual angles, no doubt, but quite often we get into woolly, romanticated notions that amount to no more than just cloudy thinking. There is an unfortunate tendency for the religious to staple these phenomena opportunistically to God in any way they can, thereby releasing cod-unknowable sides. Well I'm neither up for that, neither am I up for stapling them to Mr Spock. Let's all revel in their delicious mysteries whilst keeping our brains fully functioning. That way we might learn more and leave the waffle behind.

And there is irreducible conflict between religion and science, which is foisted on us by religion's need to ignore evidence and propose (in many cases, impose) explanations that not only don't have evidence for them but which can't themselves be explained, a deliberate and dishonest ploy. The best we can hope for is that those scientists who also believe in God can build a stone wall between the two in their brains. There are no grounds for accord. The conflict is fundamental. Hitch your notions to some other wagon. There's no respectability to be gained by hitching them to science, except in the minds of the deluded.
