"See my post up above. It's always amusing to me that scientists would be so much smarter and save a lot of wasted research time if they'd only take the Bible seriously."

Indeed.   

Unfortunately, the monstrous ego of man, especially within the contemporary academic community; "rationalism" and "modernism," forbids the very thought of introducing God into the equation; indeed, their hostility toward God which desperately drives them to endeavor to prove His "nonexistence" through their own intellectual strivings.

Scientists aren't trying to prove or disprove the existence of God, they're just trying to explain how things actually are. The hostility many theists have towards science can only be ascribed to insecurity, a fear that they might actually be wrong, not at all disimilar to the refusal of liberals to admit the failure of socialism and big government.
