Knowledge flows up from the muck, not down from on high. We know what we know because we earned it, through hard work. Not because it was whispered in our ears by angels. We earned what we know individually and collectively.
Science has reduced religion to a kind of 'insert god here' proposition whenever the remaining faithful are confronted with a scientific mystery. And since science has effectively pushed that insertion point back to the beginning of the universe, the only remaining place a believer can put god is behind the big bang itself.
The only thing we'll find behind nature, is more nature.
