The people who make those claims aren't Christians, they're dictators who expect everyone to interpret the Bible the "only right way"--theirs. They are a big part of the reason the country is in the Dark Ages.
The "science" that's in the Bible is what scientists knew up to the first century, which isn't all that much. Even today, there are people who believe in astrology, so why should it be so surprising that people back then believed in demons before psychiatry came into existence? But nooooooo, if Jesus didn't say, "Be healed of your paranoid schizophrenia with neurotic affect," then it didn't exist!
Actually, it wouldn't be the first time somebody took the Koine Greek word in the original text and used an inappropriate English word for the "inerrant" KJV, so who knows, maybe the word translated as "demon" is more correctly translated as "schizophrenia."

I am a christian and i also have a science degree.
In other words, i believe in God and i also love science. The more i study science, the more i believe that there is a higher being behind creation. From the smallest things like atoms, and microorganisms, there is complexity and organization in their structure.
Probably, it's in the evolution vs. creation debate that you mistake christians as non-believers of science. The Bible tells us of a young earth while evolution would say that the earth is rather millions of years old. The evolution theory also says that things just evolved from a single celled microorganism and that would require millions of years for one organism to evolve into another.
However, the fossils will otherwise tell us that there were giants in the ancient times... dinosaurs and even humans (which the Bible calls the Nephilim.

Based on carbon dating, there were only a few fossils that are over 10,000 years of age, while the earth, using uranium dating and radiometric dating techniques, is so much older. Uranium dating , as the name suggests, calculates age based on the decay of uranium and its isotopes of which lead is the stable final isotope. The problem is, what if lead and the other isotopes are initially present in the sample when it first existed?

But that's just one among many theories, and doesn't mean that Christians do not believe in science.

People who rely entirely on the bible for their lives are basically the pets of the church, for the most part atleast. they follow blindly, without regards of why things happen the way they do, other than 'because jesus says so'. there's nothing wrong with that for them, but for people that believe in other things, namely science, it would seem weird, to have such a limited view of the world. And by limited I meen a book about some dude that the romans hated. Why were humans created I ask? As play things. Jesus was a hearder, he hearded people around who believe in his stories, and his stories still make people blind of the world. If science was false, the people that believed that would all be dead, because science immunizes you from dideases and protects you from infection, if science is false, then I'm god.

I believe in God and I also believe in science. I don't believe that science is the answer always either. While there are scientific things in the bible, I don't use it to prove the bible. As a christian I believe everyone has the right to chose if they believe in God or not. We were all given the freewill to choose and that is biblical. While it is true that a lot of Christians get bent out of shape doesn't mean that all do. The same as those who bash Christians get bent out of shape not that all of them do either. It is because of this type of mentality we don't have world peace. I practice my belief to the best of my ability and am willing to share with anyone who asks, but I don't push my beliefs either. To share ones beliefs is one thing to force ones beliefs is another. This goes for Christians as well as for non Christians. Your faith is where you chose to place it.

We believe in Science, because God created it.

scientific knowledge and understanding such as in "Origin of the Species" by Charles Darwin is in conflict with the book of Genesis. Everyone is free to believe which is right--no one from those days is around to disprove either theorey. For a GREAT example of how these two versions of thought conflicted, see the movie: "INHERIT THE WIND" with Spencer Tracy and Frederick March as the lawyers who handled the famous Scopes Monkey Trial.

That's not really a very broad truth. The people who believe that belief in God and acceptance of scientific reality are somehow mutually exclusive are relatively few, and most of them are not doing very well in life, so they become marginalized.
Most scientists believe in God in their own way. There are many ways to go about believing in God, and most of them include accepting the observed reality.
Religious nut jobs we have with us always. Most people are more sensible than that, and they find a middle way.

I am an Islam and I believe in Allah (God) and I believe in science, too. The Qur'an and science have no contradictions.
