im not saying that science is allways wrong, but it is when it says that god doesnt exist... at least thats what my faith tells me.

I feel compelled to debate this point. Science, as an organized discipline with the scientific method defining theory, proof, and hypothesis and all, was created to describe god, specifically the Christian God. The roots of formal science as we know it today sprang up during the Renaisance, even several centuries before, in the 1200's, inside of firmly Christian cultures.
The overall Christian culture was the only "cultural matrix" (fancy way of saying belief system held across cultures) capable of pushing scientific principles out of pure mysticism and random attempts at trial and error. If we are to look at Science and Christianity as being seperate, it is only because one side has forgotten its roots while insisting that proof come before a theory can be believed, and the other requires that faith (belief in a theory) must come before proof is provided.
Physics was one of the first scientific disciplines created by Christian doctrine. When looked at in this context, it really isn't surprising to find that a higher percentage of physicists are religious than people who study the most recent disciplines, such as psychiatry. The Christian doctrine which lead to Physics is that God created the Universe, and the Universe will also end. When we pair that up with the commandment that there shall be no other gods before Jehova, where we find that stars, planets, the sun, etc., are not devine beings, we can begin to apply the laws on earth to objects in the heavens as well, such as the laws of motion. Believing that stars exist as giant nuclear furnaces billions of miles away, that planets are moved by gravity and inertia, and any of the other findings of astro-physicists does not go against Christian doctrine. In fact, many physicists believe that God created the laws of natural motion, which allowed stable orbits without the use of constant devine intervention.
Even for an infinite being, if you create a system which allows you to expend little energy in order to make great changes (Jupiter's orbit is decaying by 100 meters per orbit... that will probably make a
major change when it eventually nears the Earth's orbit), you will have increased in power. From a theistic point of view, the laws of physics show how God's powers are infinite, not how they're limited.
As far as scientists who claim to have proof that gods do not exist, their peers are the first to jump up and denounce them. Experienced scientists know that they can neither prove nor disprove a deity, and any argument that sways to either side has fundamental flaws in logic. Science has never and will never say that God does not exist, (nor will it say that God does exist) because Science can only answer how, and is never able to answer why.
As far as Religious doctrine being unchanging, that seems to assume that the Renaisance didn't happen, and that Martin Luther never nailed his protests to a church's door. Yes, he was persecuted, as were many other people who broke away from their respective churches, but they made changes none-the-less. Wicca and other revivalistic pagan religions are very recent, with Wicca's roots dating back only 60 years, and many others appearing shortly before or shortly after. One of the revolutionary ideas that they bring to the table is decentralized authority, where no congregation answers to any other congregation, or any other heirarchal structure. Whether this is a good thing or not will just have to be seen as time goes on.
