Why cant I choose both science and religious faith? What exactly prohibits the person from embracing both?

You can, but it's not a very rational or logical decision. I don't like resorting to similes, but saying you want to believe in science and have faith is no better than saying "I'm doing this test, but a few of these results aren't what I like, so I'm going to dismiss them based on my faith that I'm right and they were just faulty." the very idea of sicence and faith are opposing. Put it this way, faith wouldn't exist if there was proof, if there was proof it wouldn't be faith, it would be science. Faith is, in a roundabout way, willful ignorance, the belif in something becuase you want to believe it, not because there's rational reason to believe it.
That's kinda the whole point.

I keep asking you, what is this ''proof'' that doesnt allow one to have faith in God. You seem to act like there is some divine reason and proof that makes all faith in God irrelevant. Keep in mind that absence of proof is no proof of absence. You also seem to think that faith is belief in something that is wrong based on evidence, when every person even slighlty educated will tell you that faith is when you believe in something you do not know based on evidence exists/will happen, but something inside you tells you so. And you'd be suprized how big of a role faith plays in modern science

What?
and no, I said that faith is believing in something without adequate (or no) supporting evidence. stop twisting my words, no wonder it's so hard to argue with those of faith.

Read again. its really not hard to understand.
In your replay to that american guy Kazs206, you said ''Faith is to believe something regardless of the facts, or lack thereof'' To believe in something regardless of the facts indicates that you meant faith is something you believe in despite the facts showing otherwise. I noted you also said, lack therof, which is why I used ''You seem'' I didnt said you directly said it, but rather it seemed you drift towards the tought
