Science and Theism Doesn't Work out right?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

(Bold mine)

While true in essence, that's not always the case. There have been plenty of deeply religious scientists - Mendel, Faraday, Boyle, Newton, and so on - who made important advances in scientific knowledge. In many cases, they did so because they believed that learning how things work contributes to the greater glory of God.

The thing is, not one single one of those scientists made their religious advances because of their religion.  In fact Darwin, the scientist christians most love to hate, didn't become agnostic until long after he discovered his theory of evolution, he actually dithered on publishing it for twenty years over his personal religious beliefs and the societal backlash controlled by religion he feared to unleash.

The vast majority of religious scientists, when doing science, will openly leave their religion at the door.

Again, perfectly true, but it doesn’t alter the fact that deeply devoted theists cannot only do good science, but can (and frequently do) attribute their findings to God.

The notion that theism and science are mutually exclusive doesn’t stand up to even the most casual scrutiny.
