Theistic beliefs don't get in the way of scientific advancement? Have you heard of humanity? People are too religious to get into a career in science. It doesn't get in the way, but we are progressing at the speed of a snail. We are still using gasoline to power our vehicles, we are still using the same rocket fuel that we've been using for 50 years, we are still using the same methods of transportation, science is progressing incredibly slowly because there aren't enough people in the scientific community.
Why wouldn't they go back in time to realize if they were right in the first place or not? That's probably what most people on Earth want, to travel back in time to unveil the truth. Of course, we can't assume that they have any religions because as much as we know, and that I said before, religion is an invention of man. Going back in time wouldn't prove a theist being, but it will prove how that civilization grew, so that it would rule out a god for cause for making a civilization. Another possibility could be that the advanced civilization withh advanced scientific knowledge could have grown while studying their environments and had no need of having unlogical explanations for happenings, unlike humans which were pretty illogical back then to have any natural explanations because people didn't know how to explain nature. And humanity has gone through extinction of religions if you haven't noticed. Religions will always slowly die off, because throughout the world, more and more people are realizing reality and forgeting religion every year, and sooner or later, it will die off. It's a slow process, but it sooner or later will happen.
