I think the whole point of science is questioning the proven, and come out with more acceptable explanation, there may not be answers of many, but then again there is no absolute truth in Science. How can a sceptical mind be religious, that beats the whole purpose of faith!
We are talking about a different level of belief and faith that pushes God to a more indirect role. A scientist who believes in God doesn't think that lightning happens because Zeus or Thor are throwing darts at humans. They understand the physics of the phenomenon. They even understand and accept the rest of physics which, through observation and experiment, pushes the boundary of our understanding back to a few universal constants which dictate the observed laws.
But questions still remain. Why did those constants have these values in the first place? What ensures that the laws of physics remain consistent across time and space? If you answer these questions, they will only bring up other, more basic questions. That is what Goedel proved. A religious scientist might attribute these answers to God. Essentially, God set up a few parameters and set the machinery of physics in motion.
