There not as competing or inconsistent as people often think. Faith is similar to the scientific method(s). You have faith in God not purely because he's god, but because he's proved himself to be god. We learn more for ourselves as we go along. An example is from university. In first year you'll have a math lecturer who knows a lot, but you're just starting out. They'll at times ask you to take their word on it, but they invite you to study it out yourself. Sometimes you can't yet to get know though, because of ability, time, etc.
And if they're so at odds, why throughout history as religion (and those practicing it) been 'scientists' themselves?
