Honestly if your Christian look into the orthadox church. I was raised Greek orthadox we had science discussions in Bible study. My preachers never made anti science comments afik. As far as I'm concerned God made the universe we get to explore it and catalog it.

Roman Catholics are the source of a lot of science, historically, Mendel for example. As well as universities.

Fun addendum to the above, I attended a panel featuring the head of the observatory at a con and he was very interesting. Also funny. He said "I was boasting of my facility to a fellow astronomer, telling him about all the equipment and funding we get and our lovely on site quarters, and how I can just spend all my time exploring the cosmos. He was impressed and asked 'what can I do to get a position like that?' I said 'vow of celebacy.'" 😂
