.... "God" becomes less and less powerful.

And think about that ... how can an all powerful God "lose" power?

If God is not ACTIVELY controlling the movement of the Sun and the planets, not ACTIVELY controlling what it means to be a human, not ACTIVELY controlling the weather ... just what the hell IS God doing?

Not much. And this terrifies some of them. God can not be constrained by the laws of science, even if God created those laws in the first place.

They see science as a threat to God's power.
