If by "at the expense of god" you mean "at the exense of explanations that have not been or cannot be objectively varified and have little or no predictive power," then yes, that is what science does.
I'm interested in what scientific theories you think are contradictory.
As for being absurd, that's highly subjective. To me, your religious myths are absurd. On the other hand, quantum mechanics is very counter-intuitive, even absurd, but it is repeatedly verified and has a lot of predictive power, so I believe it dispite its apparent strangeness.
