The Lord said we should seek learning by both study and faith.
And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom, seek learning even by study and also by faith; (D&C 109:7)
Scientific research is one way we learn by study, and scripture study
and prayer are one way we learn by faith. Both are important to our
growth as individuals and societies.
Latter-day Saints have traditionally done well in school. As a group we have exceptionally high rates of completion of secondary and higher education. We have our share of prominent scholars. These achievements are, I believe, because LDS take the Lord seriously and literally when he said to seek learning by study and by faith.
