The problem is not with doing science, but with failing to remember and praise the One who CREATED the marvelous systems we study that constitute, and govern, our universe!

Agree. Amen. Otherwise you get this.
Genesis 11:1-9New International Version (NIV)
The Tower of Babel
11 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar[b] and settled there.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[c]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
Nervous Tick: There are two kinds of degrees for guys who come out of universities. The first is hard science degree: math, physics, biology,chemistry. The second is a soft science degree: psychology,sociology, political science. Then there are grey areas like economics or paleontology.
The hard sciences pretty much self reinforce rigorous thinking. But they are broad rivers of thought that can be channeled. They split off from the religious view about +-500 years ago in the early 1600’s. You can see the split with the oft quoted Descartes “Tree of Knowledge”. Google it. You’ll see that Descartes places theology as a sub—branch of philosophy—which by definition theology is not. Why not? because philosophy is man centered whereas theology is God centered. So the natural sciences have been off on a merry chase for hundreds of years until about 40 years ago when the natural sciences concluded that the universe began about 13.5 billion years ago with a big bang. Something came from nothing. The trouble is that that’s pretty much what genesis 1:1 says: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ex nihilo from nothing. He spoke the universe into being.
Worse—for atheists— among the geneticists looking deep into the genetic code—you don’t have to push them very much to get them to admit that what they’re looking at looks like a ancient hieroglyphics. Its very spooky for these guys. Francis Crick discoverer of the double helix proposed that the way inorganic chemistry became organic chemistry was that space aliens seeded earth. http://creation.com/designed-by-aliens-crick-watson-atheism-panspermia
So the glory days of atheism have passed. That’s the good news.
