If you observed some services in the protestant church, you would realize that you hardly would find anyone who rejects scientific findings. I don't think any of the pastors I know believe the earth was created by God 6,000 years ago instead of what astrophysicists tell us. In the churches I know (in Germany) there isn't any denial of science (except for some fundamentalist "free churches" that are far away from the official protestant church organization). It is not about retaining a naive, science-rejecting view of the world, but about retaining the basic values such as "love your enemy". But even as a scientist you can still believe in a higher power. Einstein did!
