In the not so distant past you could lock science and religion together, one was the ally of the other, with only a few brief defections in astronomy.
Life was the miracle you were not suppose to 'need' to have faith, but none the less it was gods creation, how could you deny there was a god?
Then comes real science, showing the true age of the earth, that our sun was in fact a star (interestingly discovered by a priest I think), and then that life was not only changeable but that humans are a very young species.
The miracle was no longer a miraculous. Faith became true, blind, non-intellectual, gut feeling, faith, and thats just not enough for a lot of people.
Its not so much that science has a disconnect from God, but that science has disconnected the NEED for God. Now you can say 'well what of the big bang' and such but finding the next question science has no answer for doesn't automatically mean it needs to be filled with God.
