A while ago I gave my personal definition of what science is, why we use it, and touched briefly on what I think this means for "non-conflict" between science and religion. I also recently lamented the distorted view of the boundaries of science implicit in using the term "supernatural."
Although I still want to go into this subject in a little more detail myself, this posting by P.Z. Myers and this even better one by Jerry Coyne lay out the case against reconciliation between science and religion beautifully. Coyne goes into some interesting detail about the intellectual roots of creationism as well, and the uncomfortable similarities it has with the thinking of conciliatory evolutionists like Kenneth Miller.
