God is not against science. On the contrary, He is all for it. He wants man to explore and discover His creation and make it work for him, of course, ultimately for the glory of God.

Ge 1:28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

The word "subdue" here carries the idea of making the earth man's slave. Man is the master, the earth is to be his slave. He is to make the earth work for him. This requires harnessing, utilizing and employing the earth.

Ge 2:19 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.

God wants man to explore the animal world too. He is to observe, study and know them. God is all for scientific discoveries. The ultimate goal of course is to know God through His creation.

And this is how exactly how science began. Christian men who believed that creation reflects its Creator poured their energies in seeking to know God through what He has made. It's called Natural Theology. The science of knowing God through Creation.
