Good scientists, whether Christian or not, tend to agree that if we humans know even 5% of all that can be known, that is a very high percentage. Most would guess that our knowledge is a much smaller percentage. But just as science does not have ALL the answers, neither are ALL the answers found in scripture. We still need both fields, plus a willingness to work hard enough to reconcile what they are each individually teaching us, to get truly solid answers. Relying exclusively on scripture allows us to fail on one side (ignoring what the creation teaches us), relying exclusively on science allows people to fail on the other side (ignoring what scripture teaches). Only by using both science and scripture, plus a ton of prayer (to make certain we are reconciling the two sides correctly and not finding some new way to screw them up), can we hope to begin to approach the truth
Yes, and keep in mind most scientists are mathematical/hard rather than theoretical/soft.
Thus, my engineering dad did not engage in theoretical speculation regarding interpretation of Scripture like we do on CC.
He KISSed theology.
