I agree that science and the Bible are not at war - and tried to make that clear in the OP. On the other hand, Scientism says Big Bang 14 billion years ago, while the Bible says God spoke 6000 years ago. Only one of them can be true.

But what do we test the spirit against to make sure it is of God - if not the written word? Romans 1:19-20... For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine...
