I think at least for the story is more of a case of close minded stupidity. I don't think science and religion are exclusives. Just like creation vs evolution. People think if one was true the other can't be, but what if there is a God and evolution was how he created everything? God is said to have no sense of time, so to him 7 days could be any length of time, who really knew how to measure it. We know dinosaurs walked the earth but not really in the same time period that man did, so what if those 7 days were really 7 million years or billion years where life evolved and became what is known to man. Believing God will fix all problems with out any involvement is idiotic. God gave us the ability to learn and adapt and come up with new sciences to further advance our race. Use what is given to us. God has done very little in the grand scheme of things compared to biblical times. It is also said he doesn't help those that don't help themselves.
The incompatibility between science and religion does not stem from the possibility of the existence of a god, it comes from the fact that science is a method that does not take into account your feelings or opinions. What is proven by science is still true wether you believe in it or not.
You reasoning about creation could be extended to anything without any fact supporting it, so it cannot be proven wrong in return either. You can modify your belief at will to make it fit with what you see. Now if tomorrow we have proofs that Humans were created by an ancient civilization of giant slugs, you will say "yes but what if God created the ancient slugs to create us in turn ?".
