Their faith is strengthened as they see what a great and awesome God we have who created a universe of such magnitude and complexity, One whose fingerprint is all over creation from the tiniest nanoparticles to the furthest reaches of space and time.
For the record, this family of a meteorologist, physicists, and engineers, have NO problem at all with reconciling their faith in a Creator God, what is written in Scripture, and "science". Science only further validates Scripture, as if the Word of God needed it.

Amen. The infinite perfection and harmony of creation, revealed in science, is called Natural Revelation by the Church. The Church has long been a patron of science, and the founding schools, universities and hospitals. Catholic scientists, both religious and lay, have led scientific discovery in many fields and produced foundational works in the linguistics, medicine, archeology, geology, genetics, zoology, astronomy, chemistry, and physics.
Peace be with you
