I doubt that discussing christian scientists and their contributions is going to help your case...but sure, let;s take a slice.
What of newton, and his physics? How about Gregor Mendel, a monk who described the laws of inheritance - the beginning of genetics? Carl Linnaeus, the father of taxonomy? Darwin....purportedly a christian (or at least that's what christians like to tell us as though we will suddenly convert). All of them living in the "conducive" atmosphere of christian hegemony.
What do christers think of their combined works? What is the conducive response of jesusism to these men and their godly endeavor? Denial.
Physics tells us that magic book is a collection of fairy tales and just so stories. Genetics, that were are evolved..not created. Taxonomy shows our relationship to all other life, and natural selection provides the mechanism by which we all became what we are. What, however, would the christers then or now...think about the modern synthesis? The same thing, in both cases.....and it aint "conducive". I'm glad that you've stopped burning people alive and ransacking libraries...but I suspect that has more to do with your ability than your desires.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
