Then there's the whole "ways of knowing" thing.

The scientific method isn't really a way of knowing if we're being honest - it can increase our confidence that hypothesis and theories are correct, but never signs off on them. So then to have the claim that science and religion are competing ways of knowing is terrible, and seeks to elevate the religious enterprise using the very old "same but different" ruse.
