Have ther not been many great scientists who believe in the Bible? Isaac Newton for example? Are there not Xian scientist now who believe in the Bible and know a great deal more about science than you do?
Of course there have/are. But the scientific method and the evidence garnered from it is so far removed from faith that I have absolutely no problem with the idea of a "believing" scientist. This is because they don't mix the two, they know the don't mesh. They use science for their "science-related questions," and use their beliefs to answer their philosophical questions. They know the difference, which is real but you refuse to accept for some reason.
