I think science and religion are two different things that are mutually exclusive. One’s scientific views generally have no reliable bearing on one’s religious views.

Folks that mix them are really having a different argument - fundamentalist Christianity vs. non-fundamentalist Christianity.

The exception, of course, is creationism - a sect of fundamentalism that is anti-science, yet seeks to use science to advance their dogma. They claim faith, but need some sort of scientific proof that God exists.

I won’t go to what creationists need but it appears they oppose the ideas of Darwinism instead of science per se.

Yes, I know, but there is false science or science elevated to religious belief too.
