Although educated in both philosophy and engineering by Catholic institutions I have not claimed to be the expert on all matters scientific.

Ohhhhh-kay.

I only hold that science is a creation of God and that to reject it out of hand because of a literalist interpretation of Scripture is to reject the omnipotence of God.

I agree that science is part of God's creation (see my tagline), but you go off the rails when you exclaim people reject science based on their interpretation of scripture.

Is that anything like each and every examination of evolution is always a "religious attack on science"?

Please explain how people that question evolution and happen to believe the veracity of scripture are therefore rejecting the omnipotence of God?

So how does this line of reasoning work when people demanding He be excluded say from the science classroom regarding His omnipresence? Wouldn't they be rejecting His omnipresence if they demand He be excluded from the science classroom?

I will not attempt to defend the indefensible. I can only say that I everyone of my classroom and lab experiences left me with an even greater understanding and appreciation of the perfection and precision of His creation.

Evolution can also be attacked by logic and statistics. How can 120 molecules different proteins come together perfectly, form a shell and reproduce? The odds of this happening have been said to exceed the number of atoms in the universe. Science was created by very religious persons.
