I came across this on a Wiki page about science and Christianity:

As that implies, this period led Christians in science to face changes and increased challenges, the first major one being theories of evolution discussed early on by Lamarck in Philosophie Zoologique and culminating in On the Origin of Species. Then in the twentieth century new areas of physics, like the Big Bang or Quantum mechanics arose. Christians in science in this period dealt with new discoveries in a variety of ways ranging from total rejection to a measured support.

Is it fair to say that the most any Christian does is give a "measured support" to science?

And it's just nonsensical to cite the Big Bang Theory in there. (Though they briefly mention Lemaitre elsewhere on the page.)

What do ya'll think? Personally, I'd like to see someone edit the last sentence of this paragraph somehow. The way it reads now is like you just can't be a Christian and fully embrace science.
