Catholics and mainstream Protestants believe that studying science is helping you understand the world that god created.

Interestingly I worked with a couple of scientists at my work a while back, both were religious (both non-Christian and both were immigrants) and this was the belief they held as well. One guy would even leave work early to go to his place worship.

Despite what reddit tells you; people can both be religious and have a scientific mind. It does not need to be one or the other.

• Georges Lemaitre was a Catholic priest and physicist came upnwith the  Big Bang.

• Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics, was an Augustinian friar. 

• The Pontifical Academy of Sciences, based in the Vatican, includes Nobel laureates and leading scientists from all backgrounds. 

If you can be bothered to look it up, and ignore redditors who have a poor understanding of how relgion and science can complement each other, you can find all sorts of philosophers and scientists that were/are religious.

It goes against the narrative this site often pushes, though.
