Saying that you can be a Christian and a scientist is correct, but the definition of a Christian here according to the author entails: humility, curiosity, service and the commitment to the idea that nature is comprehensible. Not only is any of that not uniquely Christian, it's not even particular to religious faith. Neither does the author make a compelling case merely by listing prominent Christian scientists. There's not a lot of force to an argument that points out that by some modest definition of faith and science both aren't literally contradictory. At that point faith has shifted from something that reveals transcendent truth to something that people just keep around for psychological reasons. A lot of scientists stick to some sort of natural theology, but it often mostly is a cultural sentiment. You could take the theology out, and nothing would change.
