"I don't see how scientists can hate Australia."
But I'm totally agreeing with you.
Religion doesn't conflict with science, it's supposed to be on a higher level. The idea is that science is just the process of exploring our existence and taking notes about how things work.
Religion is about the stuff we don't know. If a christian god actually existed (it doesn't), it would absolutely make sense for it to be able to break the laws of physics at whim. It's the programmer behind the curtain/etc.
But I've also found that most christians around where I live don't believe in the literal bible, and just view everything as parable and interpretations of a more abstract entity.
