Science and religion are not incompatible. It's blind faith and science that cannot work together.

But similarly, if "scientists" are wrong about the existence of God, that may be equally catastrophic (or at least would fundamentally alter so much of the underpinning of the science as to put it back at square one).
If (a) God(s) was proven to exist tomorrow, what exactly would that entail for science? I'm pretty sure nothing would change.
The whole of Christianity hinges on the Resurrection: whether that tomb really was empty the Sunday after that Passover.
There's pretty good reason to believe that, at least, something unusual happened -- Paul wouldn't have used the argument "Some of you were eye-witnesses to these events" in his letters if he didn't think "these events" supported what he was preaching. (He was writing his letters for particular people at the time, not for us 2000 years later.)
Sadly, the tomb being empty is in no way evidence of resurrection. So first you'd have to prove that it really was empty, and then you'd have to prove that the dead man inside disappeared. Good luck on that.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
