Sometimes some religious people oppose such science, and sometimes they don't. The case of Galileo has become a popular myth among some atheists, repeated as evidence of things that never happened.
Religions do in fact oppose science that challenges it's views. That is observable. Religious people, as you shifted terminology, may not be aware of science that challenges their beliefs, which I why I didn't imagine, as you do, what they think. To say the Inquisition didn't happen and Galileo was not kept under house arrest shows willful ignorance. It only took the Church 350 years to admit it's mistake. There is hope for you.
