I was raised a Baha'i (don't consider myself one anymore) and am also a scientist (physicist) and over time I have come to feel the exact opposite as you. I don't think the faith, or any faith, provides anything close to a reasonable answer for anything scientific. I think a great effort is made to make it seem like the faith is pro science, but when you dig deep; it's not. Take evolution, the faith accepts that evolution has happened, but assure it is guided, to some extent, by God. This is completely counter intuitive to evolution by natural selection, whereby a god is not necessary. Similarly, with regard to homosexuality, science has shown us that it is a perfectly natural phenomena that arises in across several species and recently it was discovered that Epigenetic tests can actually predict homosexuality. But, the UHJ, no matter how well articulated and sugar coated, still sees gay people as 'damaged' and unequal to straight people; this is not unity of science and religion. Furthermore, and this is what made me walk away from the faith, is the response to any negative claims. Take Dr Cole for an example, he performed an in depth analysis into the faith, and rather than refute his arguments the UHJ just told everyone he was now a covenant breaker and not to read any of his work- that, my friend, is the opposite of science.

All these things that the faith claims to hold dear: science, unity, equality of men and women (we know that's a lie), is all a smoke screen, hiding the fact that, like all religions, the Baha'i faith is stagnant, does not evolve and will never answer 21st century problems. Sorry for the rant, this is very frustrating.
