Yes.
Because a Christian scientist has displayed the ability to blind themselves to facts and believe in the impossible, just because they want to.
If you are a Christian and a scientist, then odds are you don't subject your faith to the same degree of scrutiny that you place on the science that you do.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
