The truth is science and Christianity are complementary. Today a wide range of scholars recognize that Christianity provided both intellectual presuppositions and moral sanction for the development of modern science.
It’s very clear that science “works”. We can explain and predict how nature will behave over an extraordinary range of scales. It is how we project the weather. There are various limits to scientific understanding but, within these limits, science makes a complete and compelling picture.
It is the Christian world which finally gave birth in a clear, articulate fashion to the experimental method of science itself. We are all the stuff of the universe, absolutely embedded within, and subject to, the rules which govern nature. Because we’re self-aware, one can argue that the universe is self-aware.
Without an intelligible design it would be impossible for humans to have free will as all actions would be as a consequence of the will of the director. Free will is a fundamental element of Christian doctrine.
Much of science supports the existence and work of God. Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”
