Personally I don't have a problem at all being a Christian and a
scientist.  I have found in my career that if you believe in God then
science is even more interesting.  Obviously it would be because the
universe is incomprehensibly amazing in every respect.  If you attribute it
as it is in reality to one omnipotent God then how could that do anything
but strengthen your faith.  Anyway, one man's perspective.

I find the universe incomprehensibly amazing enough without the God hypothesis. But my position is that the God hypothesis is a postulate: you may append it to any belief system (e.g., God or any number of gods exist and have properties x,y,z, etc.), or leave it out (i.e., be an agnostic), or append its negation (i.e., be an atheist: no God or gods exist)--and it is as pointless and time-wasting to debate or go to war over the merits of these different religious belief systems as it is pointless and time-wasting to debate or go to war over the merits of Euclidean, Riemannian, projective, and Lobachevskyian geometries.
