Part of the problem is that ‘we the believers’ have not provided a reasonable meeting place for our faith and science and scientists. In modernism, science was utlised whenever found helpful and scorned whenever not! The problem has become more acute (why?) in a postmodern environs.
Many scientists, and those who deal with the philosophy of science, either go for a “two different worlds” approach or tacitly do a “god of the gaps” thing. there are people like Plantinga who have attempted something else but their thinking is not found at the grassroot level where pastors and preachers dispense whatever best wisdom they gleaned while in seminary…
One basic point of conflict is that theistic philosophical thinking separates God too much from His creation. Panentheism has not caught on tho I wonder whether it is not a much more biblically sound alternative?
