I am a Christian. I am a student of science.
What I see here is a determination based on faith by both parties. Party X points at A and says, this happens because of this, and here is the reasoning. Party Y points to A and says this happens because of this, and here is the reasoning. Neither can prove beyond a doubt to the other one the facts scientifically. However, in the eyes of both parties they see that you have to ignore scientific data to abscribe to the other theory.
Now, I am not saying that X or Y is wrong, but to say based on science (mans understanding- based on human intellect) you cannot say that ANY theory is correct in its entireity. So arrogance is on both sides! (some being hostile and condesending) Every side can say "no, based on A,B,C,D, and E." Where the separating facts in the issue divide is: one says they don't have complete understanding of something and yet still believe, YET claim to have no faith. (amusing) The other side says, I don't have complete understading, and may never, yet I believe because I have faith.
One acknowleges faith, the other doesn't. Both sides accept things in which they don't understand. The question is, will you accept that both sides use a degree of the SAME means to reach "understanding" in their hearts.
btw, I do not fear science at all. I think if man had enough time, he would see that Gods word was right all along.
