Science

Religions currently respect evolution's many paths as consistent with God's (the infinite God of the eternal now, outside time and space) ongoing creation.

When people don't know the history of religion (or philosophy of religion, as taught in most universities, originally founded by the Catholic church), they judge initial mistakes of religious leaders as the "fatal" flaw of religion at large. That's mere simplistic human ignorance.

The religious who take time to know ancient writings and the expansion of knowledge during and since the Roman empire, also know a few of these things:

Specific scientific fields
Physics:

Galileo Galilei, a devout Catholic until his death, was the father of observational astronomy, modern-era classical physics, the scientific method and modern science.

Josip Rudjer Boscovich, and Marin Mersenne (for acoustics) made foundational contributions.

Astronomy:

Nicolaus Copernicus, a devout Catholic until death, proposed the heliocentric model, while

Georges Lemaître, a Catholic priest, first proposed the Big Bang theory; Pope Pius XII later appointed him president of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

Biology:

Gregor Mendel, a Catholic monk, who laid the foundation of modern genetics; he's known as the father of genetics.

Louis Pasteur, devout Catholic who said that "Science brings man nearer to God"
was the major founder of bacteriology; he was a French chemist, pharmacist, and microbiologist renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation, and pasteurization, among other scientific firsts

.

Geology: Nicolas Steno, Catholic priest and bishop, considered a founder of modern stratigraphy.

Chemistry: Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, devout Catholic until death, is credited with founding modern chemistry.

Medicine/Anatomy: Andreas Vesalius, devout Catholic work laid the groundwork for modern anatomy.

Besides the sciences, the first religion -- the Catholic Church in the early centuries during and after the Roman empire -- laid the foundations of art, music, architecture, cathedral schools which later became universities, all of which have given further training in all those areas of knowledge.
