Yeah. I do understand the fear of having one replacing the other - that is, the belief that embracing science means to reject God, and that embracing God is to reject science.
But that doesn't have to be the case and, in fact, shouldn't be the case at all. Science doesn't disprove God just as God doesn't disprove science. You can be a scientist and believe in God, and watch those nifty shows about how the universe was created and have your faith strengthened instead of demolished. You don't have to choose one over the other.
Plus, what we don't know now we'll know eventually, like the role dinosaurs played ;)
