...to make sure they don't conflict with their beliefs?

Yes, definitely. In fact, they shouldn't wait until they make a discovery, they should be checking in while they're still forming the hypothesis to test. That way they can avoid any hypotheses that might lead to problems, and therefore never perform experiments which might cast doubt on established doctrine.
Of course any research data which contradicts what we know from the Bible must be wrong - could be shoddy work, failure to follow established procedures, or simply jumping to conclusions prematurely. Whatever the reason it will only serve to confuse people until the truth can be sorted out. Like all that nonsense about Evolution - clearly a mistake, but some people will believe anything.
Anyway, if Darwin had simply checked with the local Vatican representative in the Galapagos that fateful day, he would have learned that God created all species exactly as the are today. Then he could have gone swimming or something, instead of wasting his time looking at birds and coming up with silly notions.

I am a Christian and I do not think that is a role science should take. I think that people too often try to make science fit their beliefs. Both Christians and Atheists. Remember that while science neither proves or has disproved God, it neither proves or disproves either evolution or intelligent design. By Scientific standards they are both still theories.

No, science isn't there to please religion. It's there to state what it observes that's it.
