And I think Liberal Christianity in general is quite comfortable with science.

Quite true. What they aren't comfortable with is many of the core doctrines of Christianity or even the specific denomination they belong to. As a Catholic I am always amused at the liberals in our church who don't accept so many of the beliefs that define catholocism. The funny thing is they are trying to re-invent the wheel. It's all been done before in various protestant denominations. If they want more liberal with "high-church" liturgy they should run along to the episcopal church. If they want less such worship practices, then they should try the presbyterian church. But of course the reason they don't, and stay in the catholic church instead trying to change it, is that if they leave they will no longer be the "progressive" media darlings they like to be, but just another protestant denomination. In fact, conservative catholics and the more conservative members of evangelical protestant churches often have more in common on matters of morals in particular and also core christian beliefs, than with liberal members of their own churches.
