Why are science and religion still at odds?
When will we have a unified view?


Never. The two bear no relationship to each other, nor should they.

People who want to reconcile the two generally mean that they want
science subordinate to religion, but there are those who would use
science (actually, technology) to impose their religion on the
'peasantry'. We would generally call those people plutocrats.


Why not let logic resolve the two into one system of understanding?

Because the structure of common organized religion doesn't allow
rational thinking about natural phenomenon. It requires that children
be brainwashed so their habits of thought are set in the ways of
magical thinking. They have the doctrines of fate, the doctrine of
suffering, the mystics, and much more -- all of which is barbaric and
anti-intellectual at best.

Intellectual dishonesty is utterly opposed to science and the real
world. Recapitulating religion and religious doctrines in other terms
won't help either.
