I'm going to assume you mean the group "Christian Science" and not "scientists who also happen to be Christians too".
"Christian Science" is a specific sect which, if anything, seems to be quite unscientific.

There are very few scientists who are religious in any way, and many of those who are not Christians.
Of all scientists (though this is not really accurate, as the studies include such degrees as computer science), only 40% classify themselves as religious.
Of prominent scientists less than 10% consider themselves religious.
To answer you main question. Science is not something to 'believe' in. It is the pursuit of evidence, when enough is garnered throughout years of research conclusions can be made.
There are indeed several qualified scientists who classify themselves as Christians, though all but one of them I know of does not believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible, and supports theistic evolution.

There are essentially no cultists of Mary Baker Eddie (please do not call them Christian Scientists, it is an insult to Scientists (and I'm sure some will also think it an insult to Christians as well)) who accept the scientific method.

believe in science? is that some sort of a new religion? for real, that's like asking 'do you believe in math?'
they all believe in facts. they want to figure out how things work. they want to learn science: things u can test and experiment on. it has nothin to do with religion.

"Christian Scientist" is one of those... oh what do you call them?
Other examples include jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, Christian Whovian...that sort of thing.

I guess so, in the sense that they believe there is a logic to belief in God
