A belief in God is immaterial to conducting lab experiments and objectively recording what one observes in a microscope or a telescope. The existance of God only matters to those analysing the data.
But a belief in the existance of God might preclude some experiments and not only on moral grounds. If the answer of every question is "God poofed it" then there is no purpose of asking another question.
