incompatibility of religion and science?

"People that believe evolution to be a fact come to the conclusion that there is no god."

One does not imply the other. There are plenty of theological explanations. Principally because sensible faiths understand there is room for both the mythology based morality tales of religion and the scientific outlook. Go look at the 'religion' tab for 'fact or theory on evolution' and one finds that 'Catholics' or 'Hindus' are at least accepting of evolutionary theory despite having a religious faith.

Most people who have come to the conclusion that there is no god or no need for one have come to the conclusion that THIS life is worth living and worry more about making it better than worrying about a life they cannot control (after this one?). Meaning in life is injected, you find it through faith, I find it through my own motives and exertions.
