I don’t claim that science has all the answers, nor do I claim it to always be right. The saving grace of science is the ability and willingness to question orthodoxy, sometimes proving it wrong, others proving it right. Religion leaves no room for admitting error or findings of new evidence. Science and religion are mutually incompatible. Leave the creation of the universe to people way smarter than you or I.

“The saving grace of science is the ability and willingness to question orthodoxy,”
Then what do you do once your science is proven false because you didn’t have access to infinite knowledge? Does the orthodoxy you proved false get reinstated? Who reinstates it?
I haven't seen anyone that smart, but there's plenty around who demand that they are to the point they sue others to be silent to enforce their views of science on everyone else.
Only if you want it to be that way. It doesn't have to be and isn't for many of us Christians who are scientists.
