Science offers a very clear explanation of the how of things work. Religion offers a philosophical explanation of the why of things. Science is rooted within in theory, experimentation and verification of ideas. Religion is rooted in history, cultural tradition and hoped for truths. Religion must conform to science and not the other way around. I don’t think personally, that that invalidates religion but offers an opportunity to focus, sharpen and better define religious tradition and dogma. In both cases, facts ultimately run out of runway and speculation takes over. Our ability understand our reality and existence has a limit. I’m as annoyed at the disrespectful, disdainful scientists as I am at the Bible-thumping religious weirdo’s who offer up a twilight zone version of reality and social order. Usually with them at the top. The prevalence these days of quasi religion- based groups, that rule with an iron-fist around the world, proves the danger that ignorance and unrestrained religious dogma presents.
Science doesn’t explain how? That’s all it does. As well as how things interrelate. Why is there something rather than nothing? Science will never be able to explain that. Is there an infinite series of realities stretching infinitely into the past? Or into the future? Science will never answer that. The stumbling block lays in the word infinite. Theology in its purest form, offers potential answers that even though they have to ultimately accepted by personal choice have proven to be of value to humanity over the millennia. Otherwise religion wouldn’t exist despite every attempt to stamp it out. It seems to be a fundamental need and aspect of the human mind.
Science as differentiated from discovery is a predictive field of study. Does that, necessarily, make it mathematical? Now ask if math developed in humans before language? Usually I would assert that math was a subset of language, but can a case be made for the opposite: is language a subset of math? Religion seems to be a narrative that is also predictive. A story is told about perfection, a fall, and a return to perfection, even conquering death itself. The narrative prediction is a belief dependent on human and supernatural design. The mathematical equations of predictive power are based on observations of Nature and a design constructed from the prowess of the human mind to categorize and judge, rationally. Is religion therefore non-rational? Is mathematics totally rational? Where religion considers rationalism contingent; science makes rationalism central. That is a difference, I think.

Science has no properties. Science is the diverse methodologies for understanding nature(s). Theology is the study of nature, so inferring a better understanding of God aka the Primordial Cause, the Cause of all causes. Scriptures that religions try to utilize are based on science and metaphysics, but such scriptures are profound that interpretation is very difficult, and people end up having contrary beliefs about the interpretations of the scriptures. Religion, too, is like a crutch, for people need something to believe in, as in hope, because life is difficult with the many trials and setbacks. It's not religions fault, but the fallen state of man's mind. Religion can be used as a tool or a weapon, just like science.

If several diciplines ask the same question, it does not mean they are aligned. It depends on how they arrive at the answer. I am amused by the sudden "can we all get along" attitude of some religions and theologians. They seem to have forgotten what they did to Galileo and Geordano Bruno.

It is likely that they will revert to the oppressive attitude if they get a chance or at minimum undermine science. We are seeing that undermining already at the highest levels.

The hope that science will be able to explain everything in the future is an illusion. A lesson that believers will never accept.

Religion supercedes science religion already has an answer to it all science doesn't
'Guessing' isn't an answer. It might be right, but probably not. Science is always trying to disprove itself, whereas religion does the opposite.
To paraphrase Schweitzer, religion sees life as a great mystery, a miracle, while science sees life merely as a given, a brute fact.
