I find that in the West many Christians in the last century or so try to use science to prove the existence of God or a miracle, etc.

The Christian world view has responded to aggression by a few who try to pass their humanistic philosophy off as empirical science.

The humanist, even the ones who claim to be Christian, reject the few details of the creation as written in the Bible and instead they pretend that if you do not take on their philosophical explantion of the creation, you are rejecting science. That is the liar's strawman.

For the Christian to be silent in the face of aggression by this competing philosophy, (which only recently has completely come out of the closet and has become increasingly propped up by state force), is foolishness.

God's creation, (the now fallen creation) and what we call the natural world, is part of the creation of God. That is what is being studied by science, God's creation.

If you think a good deal of the scientific community that pontificates does their pontifications without a strong philosophical bias, you misjudge them and have not watched them over the years. They behave as if they have, not science, but their humanistic philosphy at stake, and they are correct.

You are commenting on the supposed aggression of science on Christianity. As an eastern Christian what you say is alien to me. You may as well be speaking Klingon. This is a Western Christian conflict of the mind and faith not found in the east.
