If, as a religious person, you believe God to be the creator of our universe and everything therein, then that means that God likewise created the very science with which we try to understand the universe. The mysteries unlocked by the scientist through their methodology are nothing more than part of the blue print of creation, and we are probably in most cases looking at too small of a chunk of any given part of that creation to see it in the context of the vastness of the universe. In other words, if we cannot see how that bit of science squares with faith it may simply be that we cannot comprehend the vastness of the "truth" of the universe. You cannot tell how a house will look when finished by looking at only the details pertaining to one corner of the laundry room. In the end, my faith is that science and faith do not contradict; that the conflict is the product of our inability to understand the mystery of creation. But that's what makes mystery "mysterious"! And a little mystery is a good thing!
