What have you learned that convinces you both christianity and science are compatible, knowing how each is extensively complex to understand just on there own.
Good question.
Wisdom and discernment from God and using it to seek truth.
Christianity is following Christ. There are a great many reasons that I believe it is true. That is a whole different thread.
Modern science is the systematic study of the physical world/universe through observation and experiment.
Technically, science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God. Because God is not a physical being and He is not currently observable by us. If God or a spiritual being submitted Himself/itself for observation, then we could apply scientific methods to study Him/it. However, such an event would automatically prove the existence of God.
Any theory which claims to prove or disprove the existence of God is stepping outside the realm of scientific study.
Now evolution is another theory which is not observable by us. It is not technically provable.
However, the subjects of this theory are visible to us. People, animals, plants, fossils etc...
So, it should be much easier to determine the credibility or likelihood of this theory because we have so much more to evidence to observe.
In my opinion (as if my opinion matters), the evidence is
extremely underwhelming. It is however, open to debate, because using the scientific methods, I also cannot completely disprove it. I can only undermine or increase its credibility/likelihood.
As our knowledge of the world increases, evolution continues to appear more and more ridiculous.
Yet people keep coming up with tiny little theories about a hand or a tail or whatever they can to keep it alive.
Because everyone these days is taught that it is a proven fact, so nobody questions it's validity.

The other aspect to your question, is what I just talked about previously.
It has to do man's susceptibility to deception. (which is very great).
And man's capacity to deceive others for their own gain (which is equally as great)
Any "scientists" proclaiming that there is an incompatibility between Christ/God and science do not have any proof.
They lose all credibility as unbiased scientists when they begin making these claims.
The truth is they have no idea. They are pushing an agenda, whatever that agenda may be.
Atheism is a faith just as much as Islam is a faith or Hinduism. There is absolutely no difference, the atheist is not smarter for his belief.
Science is advancing and making great progress in many fields.
Yet there is a great deception in the world that science has things all figured out.
This is not reality, the collective scientific knowledge about the universe is still incredibly insignificant.
Science at this time doesn't tell us much of anything.
But it's application can certainly produce some cool technology
or medication with a thousand side effects, or neat new materials that potentially pollute our environment.
We now have the technology to mess with DNA and they are coming up with all kinds of crazy reject franken-creatures etc.
We can send a rocket into space which is cool. We are beginning to be able to view whats going on in the brain in real time, also cool.
