Yes there are a lot of Christians involved in the different sciences.

Well it is getting rarer. The National Academy of Science is now 93% either atheist or agnostic. Science in general is about 60% and it is higher in fields that are relevant like Evolutionary Biology or Astrophysics.
I don't have any good data but I am sure that those scientists that are Christians do not take a literal view of the Bible. It just isn't possible to practice modern Biology without evolution. It is the entire basis for everything that they do.

Ok, if you are a Christian you must believe in the Bible, if scientists say something contrary you have a chance to disprove it or sit on the fence, it's up to you.

Teaching of Christ is not science and science is another thing. There are such " scientists " that are trying to prove horoscopes, UFO, aliens .......and other nonsense. To my mind, real scientist-researcher can be Christian.

Of course.
There is a scientist on Good Morning America..(a regular, first name Mike, don't remember his last name) who clearly states he is a scientist who happens to believe in God.
I, myself, have never seen anything in religion that contradicted science, or vice versa.(sp?)
Only closed minded people in both realms feel their way of life is the only way.

Yes is is. Luke was a doctor and I think there is some science in being doctors. Also you don't have to be the scientist that believe in eveloution or anything that contradicts God's will. I'd even consider Meterology science, zoology (the study of animals) science. It depends on exactly what science you're talking about. God Bless!!

Yes. You just can't be literalist when interpreting the Bible.
Believing in the literal accuracy and inerrancy of the Bible is not a prerequisite for being a christian.

In my experience most scientists have common sense, common sense and religion are mutually exclusive, therefore, I conclude, that the answer to your question is NO.

Absolutely yes, but what is your priority, what comes first in your conduct is where your loyalties are.
