This topic presents a false choice in my view..

True Science is knowledge. Vedanta which has nothing to do with Hindu tradition (though the Hindu tradition is based on Vedas & teaching of Vedanta) is knowledge. It is all description of one order which include disorder state also.

Other major religions and their theologies have issues with Science. Hindu traditions based on Vedic teaching has no opposition to Science which is just knowledge.

There are (Pseudo) scientists or people with no real background in Science that preach science like religion. And There are (pseudo) Swamis who preach (and not teach) Vedic knowledge with ideas borrowed from other religious traditions (like concept of evil etc).

Let us not fall for false choices ...
