Specific religious beliefs aside, man turns to science for answers to questions which can be verified scientifically (or for which there is some hope of verification) and conversely, man may turn to mystical explanations for topics that science has little hope of addressing adequately.
For example, today's science can explain why a volcano erupts, but not why murder is wrong. The latter question may be addressed by intellectual axioms or spiritual explanations, but not by science per se.
Both science and spirtuality are essential to the human condition, since each addresses a basic human need.
