You say that the church was against science.. but yet most science originates from with believers...
The Church tried hard to squelch any ideas, including science, which it perceived as threatening it's absolute authority to dictate the reality of the universe and nature. Remember what happened to Galileo?
It was only religious people, in general, who were wealthy and educated enough to think about science; it was mostly only religious people who had access to books, or were literate, for instance. So, it's no surprise that early scientific thought came from them.
Also, it was not wise at that time to question the existence of God or the veracity of the Catholic Church; it could get you imprisoned, or exiled, or worse.
Remember also that science really begins with the Ancients, who were polytheistic.

certainly certain parts of the church oppose science but probably a larger portion support it...
That is true now, but it was only recently that the Pope accepted evolution and pardoned Galileo. The Church is only a couple of hundred years behind modern scientific thought.

science is not evolutionism, and science is not creationism, but science is science... evolution and creationism are explanations.
Except that Creationism is not really an explanation. Creationism just says "Godidit" and explains nothing.
