Yes. Jews have consistently supported the scientific endeavor. Maimonides, a famous rabbi, was also the Chief Surgeon of the Islamic Caliph in Cairo. Religious Jews may have issues with parts of science that directly oppose Biblical verses such as evolution or Old-Earth, but no Jew has ever postulated that using science to understand physics, Biology, chemistry, or any other scientific discipline is an affront to God and most Jews understand that studying science as a matter of "how the world works" is encouraged by Judaism. As a result, Jews believe in the validity of modern medicine, even if it comes from non-kosher sources, (in addition to prayer and visiting the sick) as well as modern conveniences (unless they provide no desirable use).

Jews, however, do not see science as providing any moral guidance in the world (contrary to some Atheists like Sam Harris) since all moral guidance comes from the Torah.
