How scientific discoveries have impacted religious beliefs?

For the Christians, it hasn't caused any radical change or trauma to other than few people who mis interpreted it . Actually , the best part is that , religion had a lot to do with scientific discoveries . For eg ,

-Fr.Gregor Mendel is the father of genetics and he was Roman catholic priest .

-Monsg.Fr.Georges Henri Lemaitre introduced the concept of what is today know as the BIG BANG THEORY and even suggested that universe wasn't static even when Einstein believed so ! Interestingly , he too was a Roman Catholic priest .

-Roger Bacon - A fransciscan Friar who made significant contributions to Mathematics and optics and has been described as a forerunner of modern scientific method.

The list is tremendous and the fact that the general population isn't aware of them arises my curiOSity . All they know is a puffed up , ever changing story of Galileo and the Church !!

A very large list of Cleric scientists alone can be found in wikipedia ! (google it!)

Also , there were several great scientists who were vocal about their faiths and had not problem in reconciling religion with science ! It's a matter of prespective ! Examples include the great Louis Pastuer , Alexandro Volta , Marconi , etc

Living examples could be Lisa Randall of NASA , Nobel winner Arno Penzias , etc
