I grew up in a fairly conservative Christian home and was taught that God gives humans the intelligence to use science. There was no big disconnect between science and Christianity. This was the 1980s though…
I was told that the dinosaurs were the animals that weren’t allowed on the Ark and all the scientists knew it. Also that the universe was only a few thousand years old.
I grew up in the 90s and in Mexico and I was taught the same thing. I still didn’t end up religious but that’s because my family always pushed for critical thinking and was pro science. Tbf they also grew up in an age and area where they saw older family legit die of shit that was preventable with medicine that might not have existed yet or was unavailable in their poor town.
