No. Science is not "out to get me" nor does it frighten me. The Bible is not a book of science but where it discusses scientific matters it is perfectly accurate and was ahead of the scientific knowledge of the day.
Examples?
Isaiah 40:22 discusses "the one who is dwelling above the CIRCLE of the earth. This was written at a time when the common SCIENTIFIC belief was that the earth was flat.
Job 24:7 speaks of the one who is "hanging the earth upon nothing". Again.... how would they know this without space exploration etc. If I'm not mistaken people at the time believed that the earth was being held up by a giant who was standing on the back of a turtle which was standing on an elephant etc.
Are you aware, at all that the Bible also discusses the water cycle before that sort of thing was studied. Look at Isaiah 55:10 ... "For just as the pouring rain descends and the snow from the heavens and not not return to that place unless it actually saturates the earth and makes it produce and sprout .... etc."
It should at least give the doubters a moment's pause and cause them to wonder how the Bible writers came about this knowledge at a time when the world either believed the complete opposite or simply hadn't discovered the science discussed.

It is a possibility.
Science is not necessarily counter-productive to religion. I think it can be a very valuable alternative way to explore the nature of God and the universe He created. Many skeptical scientists, particularly microbiologists, have been brought closer to God through their research when they truly begin to fathom the complexity in a single-celled organism. (My fiance works with a bunch fo them.)
There are other scientists, however, that either ignore the possibility of God completely or actively are trying to disprove Him (no success yet). I have read that Darwin was a vehement anti-theist in his day, which seems to put him in this "science to disprove God" camp. Reading back on Darwin's theories, we can see that they are incomplete at best. The geological evidence he used to base his theories on are also theories (i.e., unproved) and speculations. Some of the fundamental stuff that we take for granted today was also somewhat based on circular logic when you realyl go back and look at it.
Point being, there is good science and bad science, good scientists and bad scientists. Make your own decisions about who you think is what.

Darwin was a devoutly religious man for the majority of his life. There is not, and never has been a conflict between religion and science. The conflict is between science and the people who use religion as a source of income and a tool for secular power. Such people cannot abide having there power base threatened.

Um. Most theists have no problem with science- be more specific in your questions.
Darwin was a Christian, for crying out loud....have you READ Darwin?

No. I'm not threatened by it because I know more than most religious people.
You should read all the things at http://www.aish.com It explains why creation isn't real.
