Pagan gods controlled aspects of the natural world so they would conflict with science quite a fair bit. Yahweh just created the natural world and all the physical processes science can study. Yahweh or YHWH means "he causes to be" or "he creates". So as you can see there isn't much of a conflict to had seeing as it addresses something science can't.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
