In fact, scientists often seem to have less a problem with belief than many other academic disciplines. But if Christianity and science are not really at loggerheads, science has been coming in for increasing criticism over the last 10 years, as many people have felt the great promises of the post-war boom in science and technology haven't been delivered, or have left us with a bitter legacy as well as undoubted benefits. Plenty of people are questioning the place of science in society, and saying we have to have to look at the values which drive science, which science itself does not give us. It isn't designed to. Anything else is just your own opinion.
Science says a lot about mechanisms and processes, about cause and effect.
It observes things carefully, draws conclusions and makes theories. We've got used to thinking that if science says that's the way something has come about, then that's all it is. If you wanted to know how something worked, you might try and take it to bits yourself, but in the end, if you wanted an authoritative view, you'd probably ask a scientist. And so on. All she could tell you would be mechanisms and theories.
