Personally, I don't see why religion and science have to be diametrically opposed. To me, science tells us the HOW about the Universe. Religion tells us the WHY about the Universe. God created the Universe? Cool. Makes sense, there had to be before the Big Bang. Maybe God sneezed. Or pushed a domino over. Whatever. He started stuff. Six days? Could have felt like it to God. We may have been made in his image, but I'm damn sure God isn't human. He's got to be some being that exists beyond the three dimensions that we exist in. And so on and so forth.

If all we're talking about is observation though, the hypothetical isn't technically relevant. I kind of strongly disagree with the idea Nye is arguing right now -- that you can (with certainty) assume that the laws of nature are a persistent constant. That's a mammoth assumption which by its nature you can't support scientifically -- [i]it might be the best guess[/i] and I have no qualms with somebody making it, but when you start to look down on people for thinking otherwise you've made an error.
