I genuinely don't see the conflict. Awesome science is only awesome if there are things you don't understand (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_unsolved_problems, if this list is growing smaller your civilization isn't pushing itself).

For goodness sakes a priest developed the Big Bang theory and a monk developed heredity theory. They lived in a setting where magic and gods existed. You can have someone theorize that they're just aliens, you can have someone else theorize that they're actually supernatural, nothing to do with whether or not science is going on.

Look at Dungeon Meshi. They're doing real science figuring out how the dungeon ecology works, in an obviously magical setting, without worrying about metaphysics in the slightest.
