I and most of the Christians I know do not view science as evil. Personally, and I know many who share my perspective, I view science as God's gift to us through which we are able to explore His creation. The forerunner of my denomination, John Wesley, was very interested in science and wrote several science books; one on biology I believe.
I honestly don't see a conflict between science and my religious beliefs. In fact, I see great synthesis between science and the teachings of the Bible as long as I view both in a certain way:
1. The "canon" of science is not closed. Almost every generation rewrites science as the result of new discoveries that show us that what we believed yesterday is not necessarily true today. Therefore, when people talk about science disproving the veracity of the Bible, I take that with a grain of salt because I know scientists don't know all there is to know and one simple discovery tomorrow, or next year, or 20 years from now can disprove the very science that supposedly disproved the Bible.
2. The Bible is not meant to be a science textbook. It is a compilation of writings through which God invites us into a bigger story. So many people look at a passage of scripture and say, "That's not scientifically correct" when it's actually a piece of poetry written to connect with the heart, not just the mind.
However, science has helped us to understand much of the Bible. For instance, in Leviticus the people are instructed not to use the water in any of the jars that happened to be uncovered in the tent of someone who died because it is "unclean." If they had been covered, then they could use it. What does this mean? Thanks to science we now understand that God, in language the people of the day could understand, was protecting them from communicable disease.
Job poetically speaks of the hydrological cycle long before anyone could know the science behind it. Science shows us that Job had insight beyond what he should have been able to know.
There are instances of this all through scripture where over the centuries, through God's gift of science, we have been able to gain deeper and deeper understading of why God says many of the things He says in the Bible.
I would contend that the people of science tend to be as afraid of religion as you suggest religious people are afraid of science. People of science tend to believe that nothing can exist outside of what can be tested and refute even the possibility of there being a mystical, unseen facet to the universe and our existence in it.
If we can embrace these two qualifiers: That science isn't "complete" and the Bible isn't a science textbook, then I believe we can begin viewing both the way God intended...two distinct ways to discover Him: faith AND reason. I find much resonance with the words of Albert Einstein as he said, "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
