One way they are compatible is by picking and choosing what to believe in. This seems to be the most common approach I've seen, though its often done by not looking too closely at the topic. However, I imagine you want something more satisfying than that. What you're saying makes sense If A and B reach contradictory conclusions, than one of them must be false. However, I think a lot of problems come from thinking that we understand reality. We're just starting to scratch the surface so we may discover things that allow us to accept both science and religion. The analogy I like is of the guy who tried to see how much it rained by throwing spaghetti on the wall. Thats the wrong tool to use. Maybe logic/our brains are not powerful enough to answer these questions. (Apologies, this is not the best explanation of what I'm trying to say).
