Even if you read the bible in English and you take literal meanings as translated in English, you can still compartmentalize and keep your science in your science world and your religion in your religion world.
You don't need to hit the ball and run to the bases with quilting needles in your hands just to validate other activities.
Religion DOES butt into on science, especially the science classroom.

However, in order for progress to occur, religions must either change in light of scientific findings, ignore the findings, or change the scope of religion. This much of Christianity has been doing for a long time. What there isn't room for is both dogmatic theology regarding the physicalities of the world and science.
Most early scientists in Christian countries were Christian, it was dangerous to be otherwise. But Arabic, Chinese, and others, all had scientists.
