Do faith in God and science contradict?

Question:
Do faith in God and science contradict?
Bible passages: Zechariah 1, Matthew 19:1, Psalm 19:1, Proverbs 1:7, Romans 1:18, 21-22, 24
Discussion:
Dictionary definition - science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence.

Bible definition of faith Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

Key points on science :
- It proves the existence of God
- Complements the work of God
- Unable to create out of nothing
- Invention is from what God created
- Start hypothesis and plan the outcome to prove a point

Key points on faith:
- Proverbs 1:7 the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge
- By faith, Christians understand that the universe was formed at God’s command.
- What was seen was not made out of what was visible.

The interpretation of faith and science depends on individual, it depends on the belief of the scientist.

In conclusion:
The scientist  might say they believe in a being or know God. Romans 1:21-22 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.

Praise God
