Very similar to creationists who are so insecure in their faith that they spend time attacking science. Building creationist museums with fanciful displays of humans living with dinosaurs, and writing books on "intelligent design" that purport to be religion neutral, but are obvious attempts to insert faith into the realm of science.
Once an unknown thing can be explained as "the creator did it", then the very motivation for scientific inquiry is dead.

You could not be more wrong and more powerfulyl proven wrong than by the sheer weight of evidence. You are uninformed.
Christians and Christian based societies have been responsible for the greatest plethora of achievements and advancements in science and technology than any other culture or religions (especially atheists) in the history of mankind.
No people have been more motivated to pursue science, than Christians. Myself included.
LOL! I have given up 2 careers, each of which were worth millions of $$ to me, in order to get my PhD in Physics and pursue pure science, (which is not a get rich scheme)
Why did I give up my businesses in international business development and real estate investments??
Why??? BECAUSE I FOUND CHRIST! It was not until i became a christian a very few years at the age of 41 did i realize my calling was to pursue science. Any of my family and friends will tell you I was motivated by my faith in God and Christ.
God gave me the calling, the passion and courage to drop everything and do it. This is the problem with you atheists (if you are atheist), you do not have a clue what you are talking about.
I was an agnostic for over 30 years and thought just as you. Now I am Christian. Now I know what an ignorant ass I was about Christianity. I was bigoted and incredibily uninformed.
I now join the ranks of some of the greatest scientists ever known, as a Christian, and as a believer with the power of God in our lives ( i do not yet join them at their level of achievement).
Proverbs 4
Wisdom Is Supreme
5 Get wisdom, get understanding;
do not forget my words or swerve from them.
6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;
love her, and she will watch over you.
7 Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, [a] get understanding.
8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will honor you.
Proverbs 3
13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
those who lay hold of her will be blessed.
19 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations,
by understanding he set the heavens in place;
20 by his knowledge the deeps were divided,
and the clouds let drop the dew.
