It is often said that science and God are completely at odds, but this could not be further from the truth.

Science History

Science as we know it was largely a result of Christians centuries ago believing that God has made an ordered, decipherable universe, and that it is a privilege to search out its mysteries. See this video explaining science history. Most truly pioneering scientists believed in God, and not passively. A number of them wrote about how their love for the Creator spurred on their work. See below. Some of the most popular stories about conflicts between science and religion are provably false (watch Science Points to God).

Philosophical Underpinnings

Science relies on assumptions that do not make sense without a creator, such as our ability to reason properly, which cannot be trusted if we believe whatever the molecules in our brains compel us to. For more on this, read the Argument From Reason. Note that even the fact that the universe can be rationally described does not sense without a creator, because the rational, consistent rules of the universe must have their origins in a rational being, not irrational forces.

Scientism

Certain individuals act as though scientific knowledge is the only kind worth having, and that we cannot really be certain of anything unless it is scientific. This idea is called scientism. Here in reality though, we should understand that we can know many things that are more important than, say, astronomy, including facts about ourselves that can change out lives. For instance, because we can reason, have free will, and are conscious, we can know that we have a soul. Our knowledge of our families and how to do addition is also not acquired by science.

We also know that many scientists will make bold claims that they later have to walk back or which they are proven wrong about, and that what we know about how living beings function and the universe in general is very limited. At this very moment, you will find scientists who proclaim that dark matter is a sure thing, while others say the exact opposite. Therefore, the extent of boasting that goes on about modern knowledge just because of advances in science is not wise, especially with reference to people from long ago, when it is assumed they were stupid.

The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang theory is believed by most atheists now, but it actually clearly points to God in that it requires an initiator, which is why atheist scientists hated it at first—and why it was proposed by a Catholic priest! Nevertheless, it does have scientific problems. Read more...

Evolution

The fossil record and genetics do not support evolution, and luckily, you don’t need a degree to understand why! Essentially, the arguments for evolution boil down to begging the question (assuming the conclusion beforehand): atheist scientists insist that creatures must have evolved from a common ancestor because they assume that the hand of God is not an acceptable explanation.

The Age of the Earth

The modern person believes in dates of millions of years without having any idea how reliable they are. In fact, radiometric dating has been proven to be unreliable. Samples of rocks with known ages (laid down by volcanic eruptions) have returned "ages" in the hundreds of thousands and millions of years. Moreover, a biblical account of history best explains many features of the Earth that indicate a young age and a worldwide flood. Read more...

Influential Scientists

Sir Isaac Newton (invented laws of gravity and motion; invented calculus; Christian):

Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.

Louis Pasteur (Father of Modern Microbiology; Catholic):

If perchance you should falter during the journey, a hand would be there to support you. If that should be wanting, God, who alone could take that hand from you, would Himself accomplish its work.

Michael Faraday (monumental contributions to electromagnetism; Christian):

Since peace is alone the gift of God, and as it is He who gives it, why should we be afraid? His unspeakable gift in His beloved Son is the ground of no doubtful hope.

Sir Joseph John Thomson (discovered the electron; Christian):

As we conquer peak after peak we see in front of us regions full of interest and beauty, but we do not see our goal, we do not see the horizon; in the distance tower still higher peaks, which will yield to those who ascend them still wider prospects, and deepen the feeling, the truth of which is emphasized by every advance in science, that 'Great are the Works of the Lord'.

Gregor Mendel (Catholic friar) founded genetics, Johannas Kepler created the famous laws of planetary motion, Sir Francis Bacon was influential to the scientific method itself, and so forth. Entire books have been written on this topic.
