In fact I think we can thank science for helping causes near and dear to a good many biblical theists.
Biblical theist’s beliefs can’t survive except by defying science, and they’ve been working hard at it for centuries and still are.
You’d said before you’d like scientists to have revised the Bible, weirdly imagining that would result in a science-supported Bible. You don’t seem able to realize the things you find near and dear in the Bible would not survive the process: no special creation by a deity, no Adam and Eve, no ark and global flood, no resurrecting persons, etc, etc.
Science has helped the cosmological argument.
Science has helped the cause of pro-lifers.
Science has helped intelligent design concepts and obliterated much of what Darwinian evolutionary theorists hoped would bury God. Darwin thought life originated from simple ingredients. The discovery of DNA (coded information) makes spontaneous abiogenesis all the more implausible.
Science has introduced us to quantum 'spookiness' which rivals supernatural woo.
False on all counts.
The cosmological argument has the appearance of reason only to those who define God into existing. God seems necessary only because he's defined to be necessary, and the definition doesn't make the claim true.
"Pro-life" and "pro-choice" is an ethical disagreement about personhood which isn’t a scientific matter.
Even on the occasions when Intelligent Design proponents managed to make any testable claims, those claims were refuted.
Quantum mechanics has withstood an enormous number of experimental tests which supernatural woo lacks in remarkable abundance, so there’s no actual comparison other than the irrelevant impression that they’re both strange.
About schools named after saints... that Christianity is inherently anti-science in its naivety about supernaturalist presumptions doesn't mean Christians can't get A's in science classes.
And don't kid yourself thinking that atheist scientists are completely free from the allure numinous awe and existential wonder when they study at the frontiers of human discovery.
The feelings aren't religious. Presuming supernatural shit is what inspired the feelings, or getting devout and ritually celebratory over the feelings, is what would qualify any of it as religious.
I can quote mine the likes of Carl Sagan and Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking and even Lawrence Krauss and come up with tons of quasi-religious dialectics along the lines of...who are we, how did we get here, where is everything leading to, what's it all about?
So you still haven't learned what quote mining is.
There's nothing inherently religious in those questions, so they don't turn "quasi-religious" when atheists ask them.
Physicist Brian Cox said our origin(s) was the most important question science seeks to answer. Why? What difference would that make?
Professor Cox also asked: "There may have been more than one Big Bang and probably, in these theories, there are an infinite number of universes being created all the time. So what does that mean? What does it mean that our existence is inevitable, that the universe may have been around forever?”
So, I wonder, what difference does it make for Christianity to ask such questions as Prof Cox asks, with open-minded scientific investigation rather than supernaturalist presumptions in mind, except that the answer probably won't lead to any sort of god?
From the same article:
"When I ask him how God fits into his understanding of the universe, Prof Cox says: 'It doesn’t at all. I honestly don’t think about religion until someone asks me about it.' And that’s because, he explains, science is not about asking grand questions but very simple ones. The way to find out answers to big questions is 'almost accidentally'."
Doesn't look like he thinks he asks religious or "quasi-religious" questions.

Maybe it seems an important question to him and others because it’d replace naive supernaturalist answers with evidence-based ones, to satisfy the natural and not-uniquely-religious desire to understand our place in nature.
