I don't know if I'd put it exactly like that. How about this?
If you use your religion as a flimsy excuse to defy established scientific facts due to cognitive dissonance rooted in your own ignorance, you're intellectually dishonest and will be challenged at every turn by intellectual honesty. Moreover, you're not doing your belief god any favors by pitting it against something that can be proven.
