I noticed this question sitting at the bottom of the discussion board and I thought it would be nice to "revive" it.
I think that the more we learn about the universe and its workings, the more in awe we will be of how intricate, infinite, and surprising nature is. I feel like science that is purely naturalistic unercuts this wonderful response. For those who already believe in God, the things which science uncovers may serve to strengthen their faith in and praise of God--but not if they are constantly hammered over the head with the notion that science is Godless and that proponents of science think religious faith is irrational and foolish. Not all of them do. Science does *not* have to be the "death" of God! Religion/spirituality is a very powerful force in the human mind, and it can bring a fullness to life--I would not want to lose that.
