Is science against the Revealed Religion?

If said religion is inherently contradicted by certain obvious conclusions(like saying the earth is flat, light is instantaneous, only 6k years old, ect) then yeah, probably, but that's because the religion in question is simply either woefully misinterpreted or is an outright fabrication(hello, $cientology).
The revealed religion does not present anything like that; it is not its core belief;such things are only peripheral and mostly misconstrued.

Science "reveals" Scientific facts far better than any "revealed" religious scripture.
However science has, so far, been very poor at "Revealing" acts of God.

Science is not in the business of confounding religious belief.
However, religious belief, has a very hard time when it strays into any field of science.

Confounding or confirming, I think it'd be best to say.

I wish that were true.
The Bible recounts many events, including the account of the creation, that are not scientifically true or factual.
It is wrong understanding or wrong interpretation.
Does Bible claim that it is a book of science? Why look for science in it?

Is there any ambiguity in it? Please
Regards
Not so much an ambiguity as an unstated yet IMO faulty premise.

Science can't very well be for or against revealed religion.

It can refute or validate specific religious claims, but that is about the closest that it can go.

It is actually philosophy, particularly ethics, that can challenge revealed religions by pointing out the inconsistencies of their proposed scriptures and deities.

The Bible claims nothing about anything.
However PEOPLE make claims about what is in it.
And creationists claim creationism should be taught as a science in schools.

I am not proposing any experiments. I hear people say that science is against religion, I just want to see if it is so.

That is usually a misunderstanding or a straight misrepresentation. It happens often in Creationism.
