Jerry Coyne, in Seeing and Believing for The New Republic answer this question in the negative, examining Saving Darwin: How to be a Christian and Believe in Evolution, by Karl W. Giberson and Only A Theory: Evolution and the Battle for America’s Soul, by Kenneth R. Miller and finding both lacking in their attempts to bridge the gap between the two.

Coyne is a working scientst—a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago—but inserts cogent philosophical insight into his argument as well, usefully noting that what is really at stake is a conflict between religion and secular reason:

So the most important conflict–the one ignored by Giberson and Miller–is not between religion and science. It is between religion and secular reason. Secular reason includes science, but also embraces moral and political philosophy, mathematics, logic, history, journalism, and social science–every area that requires us to have good reasons for what we believe. Now I am not claiming that all faith is incompatible with science and secular reason–only those faiths whose claims about the nature of the universe flatly contradict scientific observations. Pantheism and some forms of Buddhism seem to pass the test. But the vast majority of the faithful–those 90 percent of Americans who believe in a personal God, most Muslims, Jews, and Hindus, and adherents to hundreds of other faiths–fall into the “incompatible” category.

There is a set of good (as always) reactions to the article in the Edge edition 272, in particular Daniel Everett’s reminder that scientists can adopt unsuitably religious attitudes in their work as well:

When scientists believe that they are marching towards Truth in some platonic sense, they are behaving religiously, not scientifically. The belief in Truth, as Rorty cautioned, can become the scientist’s god and when it does it involves no less superstition than any other god.

Which is not to say, as Coyne refreshingly notes, that science is a “religion of its own”—merely that scientists too have to be suitably humble about their research and the end goals of their endeavours.
