Do you think science degrades your religion or enhances it.

Science makes religion irrelevant. We no longer need a "god" to explain why the stars shine or the sky is blue.
Consider that without Adam and Eve, the entire Christian religion collapses (no original sin, no need for Jesus to sacrifice himself, etc). Well, science (evolution) shows there was no Adam and Eve, and that Genesis is a fairy tale.
So, science doesn't degrade or enhance religion, it exposes it for the nonsense it is.

If one really looks thouroughly at 'science', there is more and more evidence that the earth is not 'billions and billions' of years old, but something less than 10, and that about 4 thousand years ago there was a world wide flood. One has to be able to look at the facts, though, rather than reacting emotionally to the fact that Darwin has been proven to be in extreme error. Everywhere in nature is intelligent design. I personally know one extremely intelligent woman who was a 'devout' athiest. Until she took medical school. Convinced by the way the human body is designed, it's awsome ability to heal itself, she found only one answer. A Creator.
Human nature does not want there to be a God, because then we are accountable and no longer in control. So there will always be those who choose to laugh and say that those who believe are not 'scientific' despite the overwhelming evidence.
In Noah's day the 'scientists' were all laughing at him. After all, it had never rained, only a mist had come up and watered the earth every night. How could water come down out of the sky? It was not possible. And then the flood came and took them all away.
Does science degrade my 'religio' or enhance it? A most emphatic, resounding, Enhance!
PS Did you know that before Gallileo, in the book of Job, which is thought to have been written before Moses even, it is mentioned that the earth is round and hangs from nothing in space?
Or that various cultures have tried to switch to a 'logical' ten day week cycle? Never works. People get burned out, they get careless, they get tired. Nowhere in nature's rythems do we find the pattern of seven days, not in the moon, not in the cycle of the earth around the sun, not in the stars. In Genesis, God tells us where it came from. He made the earth in six days and spent the seventh with His new creations. So he desires us to spend the seventh day of every week with Him.

Enhances. I believe in the unseen or invisible things of the world, and science has definitely shown more and more of the invisible part of our world that we could never perceive with our natural five senses. So this makes me think that there could definitely be more invisible things yet to be discovered. There is now a world of possibilities, nothing is impossible, such science is leading to.
Rom.1
[20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

It certainly enhances it. The only scientists that are not believers in GOD are the ones with their own agenda. Science has always been very supportive of Creation from everything that I have been able to find. Have a great Lord's Day!

Science usually either enhances or does not affect our religion. The only thing that degrades it really, is evolution.

Religion blocks science.

I'm an atheist but I think science exposes Christianity as intellectally untenable. It's no coincidence that a rise in disbelief has occured at the same time as an increase in our scientific knowledge.

while faith certainly is at odds with science to a degree
it is not "science" itself that is so damaging to religion, it is "logic" that is excruciating to faith

It depends, in relatively recent news, Jesus' brother's casket was found. It said: (name unknown), son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.
it also doesn't support things. The fact that monkeys exist doesn't support evolution.
