Religion asks people to believe that a being that is capable of speech, vision, has intelligence and creativity (not to mention the capability to create worlds!) 'just appeared out of nowhere'. Science only asks us to believe that a life form without all these traits appeared 'out of nowhere' (not really 'nowhere'. Life forms are built up of non-living materials like water, calcium etc. The first life form consisted of materials which were present in the 'primordial soup' as the ancient ocean is often referred to.)
God is spirit and is not composed of matter. Science asks us to believe the universe came out of nowhere on its own; science asks us to have faith in something coming from nothing without any explanation at all.
