Science and Faith - Not a Conflict
This idea that faith and science are in conflict does not fit the demographics. Belief in God among top professional scientists is about the same as the general public.
The list of Noble Prize Winners in science who believe in God is extensive.
Many great scientists believed God and/or the mystical. They include Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton, Nikolai Tesla, and, today, many Nobel Prize Winners in science, and many more.
The book below concludes that about 50% of scientists are religious, and, additionally, many more, while not religious, believe in God.
from this book:
Science vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think
by Elaine Howard Ecklund
http://www.amazon.com/Science-vs-Religion-Scientists-Really/dp/0199975000
Quoting from the article: "In the course of her research, Ecklund surveyed nearly 1,700 scientists and interviewed 275 of them. She finds that most of what we believe about the faith lives of elite scientists is wrong. Nearly 50 percent of them are religious. Many others are what she calls “spiritual entrepreneurs,” seeking creative ways to work with the tensions between science and faith outside the constraints of traditional religion…..only a small minority are actively hostile to religion."

And here's A professional scientific study proving that prayer works:

"There is ample proof that prayer works. Many scientific studies have been conducted that validate this observation.
A 1993 Israeli survey following 10,000 civil servants for 26 years found that Orthodox Jews were less likely to die of cardiovascular problems than
"nonbelievers." And a 1995 study from Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., monitoring 250 people after open-heart surgery concluded that those who had religious connections and social support were 12 times less likely to die than those who had none."
