Science arose from the middle ages as an alternative to faith.
Its premise rests in Greek Logic.
Logic requires "proof", thus there is no room for faith.
This core principle makes it difficult for a person to "practice science" while harboring an over-riding belief in faith.
I do differentiate science from engineering
I do differentiate scientific measurement from research.
Thus, I suppose that an individual could work on measurement and applied science, call themselves a scientist and still have faith.
