Common detractions from Christian faith in relation to science is that faith prevents science.
Not so.
John Lennox has a great video on this.
In brief, because the cosmos has its source in intelligent cause: the agent being the Creator, of course, we are confident it is purposeful and efficient: in short, designed.
Thus exploration of it will bear fruit in real knowledge and we are confident to embark on exploration of anything and everything knowing that we will gain objective, true knowledge of the structure, operation and purpose of that thing.
Our faith in (natural) science arises because of our confidence in an external creator of a uniformity of natural causes in an open system (Schaeffer's term in his trilogy).
