Science puts the onus on religion to prove the existence of an intelligence that is responsible for the creation if the universe and consciousness. So be it.
However, science has yet to explain the ORIGIN of life. It (science) can only explain in fragments the processes involved in the development of life.
Score:
Religion = 0
Science = 0
Scientists are hot on the trail of the origins of life. It's the study of abiogenesis and you can find a lot of information on it if you give it a go.
I found some excellent videos which go step-by-step on the likely origin of life a while back. I'll see if i can locate them for you.
We have also described, in detail, exactly how animals evolve over time to bring about the dazzling diversity of animal life with methods that are open to the public, repeatable, measureable, traceable, and which provides critical information which cross connects many fields of study.

Religion has yet to explain the origin of anything.
The methods of science are also responsible for literally everything that we can prove we actually know. Engineering, agriculture, medicine, architecture, fabrication, textiles, art, automation, publication, electronics, trans-continental rail and road systems, the assembly line, trans-oceanic telecommunications infrastructure, boats, wheel barrows, hand-axes, satelites, automotives, the calendar, trips to the moon, telecommunications, vaccines, irrigation, sanitation, flight... all of these are only made possible through the use of the scientific method.
Meanwhile the contribution of religion to our understanding of the world? Instances where they can demonstrate that they actually know anything at all about the claims they make? Got any?
Not only have the assertions of religion about our supposed supernatural destinations always and invariably been beyond their ability to certify, a great bit of religious assertions about the things we CAN test have proven to be incredibly wrong-headed and flat out incorrect.
So, a revised scoreboard would more accurately look something like this.
Science = Everything that seperates us from dirt-scratching subsistence gatherers and rat hunters.
Religion = Hot air.
