A faith that seeks and accepts the support of science is already more than half way to extinction. Science has nothing of any value to offer faith, and any sect that goes to science begging for support is certain to receive a stone instead of the bread it needs.
Scientists who confuse their faith with their speculations do both a grave injury, for the speculations, once they are contradicted in the scientific domain by a single experiment, are abandoned by scientists and thus, by losing all standing in their own province, subtly infect the faith, into which they have been grotesquely transplanted, with irrational skepticism.
Those who seek the support of science for their dogmas are more concerned with gaining a powerful support for their own prestige and the security of their worldly livings than they are in maintaining & spreading what they are popularly supposed to believe is the truth. Eric Temple Bell; The Search for Truth; pp183-184
Now it is quite clear that none of the empirical sciences has or
could have any logical bearing on a great deal of the Christian doctrine about Jesus. It is absurd to suppose that
empirical science could prove or disprove, make probable or improbable, the doctrine of the existence and triune structure
of the Godhead and of the uniquely intimate connexion between one of its differentiations and the man Jesus. C. D. Broad; The Present Relations of Science and Religion; Philosophy 14; 1939; p133
