There may be singular scientists doing work like that, but big S Science doesn't care one bit about any god. Unless this person thinks scientific discovery itself diminishes their belief somehow, which is stupid in a whole other way.
That's how I talk about evolution or the big bang with religious people, science explains what we observe. What's so bad about studying how god did it?
An excuse I've heard before is that God's mysteries are not for man to understand. The ultra-religious would absolutely rather have followers live in ignorance. That way they stay followers and don't think to question things that don't make sense.
Agreed, most scientists figure there's no way to prove it disprove the existence of god. What idiots like this object to is science proving things that contradict a literal interpretation of the bible - not because they set out to, but because it worked out that way. Evolution is an example: some people figure that if we can see the evolution of man over millions of years, then god didn't snap his fingers and create man in a day. So that makes scientists assholes.
But what about all that personal benefit?!? Big Science will crown him the champion and hand over the weather controls and space lasers!
