I can't articulate it, but I don't see a contradiction between belief and science/human achievement. Then again, I see the bible as a great myth, as opposed to literally true. I can say god created the universe in six days, but that can be six days defined much differently than we see a "day".

Science helps us to understand our world- regardless of god. Even if god created us, germ theory is still a good thing to study and understand. Watching the cosmos is an amazing thing, regardless of how it came to be.

I can see how an absolute literal interpretation of the bible would conflict with science- it says god created the world in six days, and a literalist would say that's six days as we understand days.
