Why do you place science in conflict with religion. Science seeks to answer the question of "how?" Religion answers the question of "why?"

Religions don't answer 'why' - otherwise there wouldn't have been thousands of deities in the history of the planet and which have differed so much or are contradictory.
They may have tried to answer the question 'why' for primitive peoples who had little or no understanding of meteorology, microbes, electricity, atoms and various causes of natural phenomena - but we have the benefit of knowing much more than unknown scribes millenia ago who wrote fairy stories or, in many cases, rewrote pre-existing fairy stories with new spins. Hence the endless schisms that happen in religions.

I guess doctors see the apparent randomness of treatments working for some and not others and cases of people living while they "shouldn't".

We came from somewhere. The existence of a greater being would be a logical idea as to from where and how.

Christianity, at least, (I'm ignorant of other religions), can anyway easily reconcile the idea of creation. The "big bang" in physics came from work by Georges Lemaître, a Belgian cosmologist and Catholic priest. People had realised that the universe seemed to be expanding. Working backwards for the idea that the universe is bigger today than it was yesterday, he put forward the idea that going back far enough in time we come to the point of the creation of the universe.

Following on from some other thread, I recall something like "belief is divine, religion is man-made"
