Science and religion are two sides of the same coin. Each seeks to answer our questions about the world around us, to satisfy our curiosity as human beings, just as he said. We are curious, and explore. For some, that exploration culminates in science (continuing experimentation to seek the answers), for some in religion (a philosophical approach to seeking the answer). For some, if significantly fewer, the two are able to go hand in hand.
Religions being different is a testament to this. While they generally have common themes among each other, they differ in aspects as well. They are seeking to find answers through thought and feeling, and therefore come to different conclusions. Just as there are many philosophies on life and existence, so there are many thoughts on religion and origin and afterlife, just as there are many views and opinions on how to interpret science as well.

It is entirely possible for some of these to be absolutely wrong though.

Never said they couldn't be wrong.

Our survival as a species has relied upon our superstitious model making pattern seeking brains. Religion too, it seems is in our DNA.
