Not everything a child say, is demon possessed. You can all go back to 1600th Century and be a part of the wich hunt. I am both a devout Christian and a scientist. The vast majority of scientist are. Your supposition is fundamentally incorrect.
Science is a search for the truth.
The two are not in conflict. When approached with the wonder of a child, science reveals the wonder of God's Creation. Without this approach science does not advance. Most science is approached this way. The charitable approach would be to understand some outspoken scientist who have the ear of a secular press forget what science is about and spread misinformation.
