True science is founded on valid and repeatable scientific experiments that lead to predictable outcomes. If one can’t predict they can’t prove they know anything.
Except that they still retain faith? We should leave some room for that.
All past events are based on faith, of some kind.
Future events, just as well.

Exactly.

Thats why young earth creationism or literal Genesis reading is not science. It cannot predict anything.

While evolutionary models are used for antibiotics development, for example.

Big Bang model is used for understanding the universe etc.

As much as we like to think that scientists are all devout seekers of truth and wouldn’t let their prejudices interfere with results, that’s not the case. Most of us don’t have availability to labs nor the educational background to research ourselves so it’s all a matter of trust. Who would be the most reliable? I would wager that it is the ones who lost the most because they went against crowd. They who lost funding and were discredited probably only have honour to gain.

So your saying that God used night fall, then the next morning, on some point on the earth, to define a day?
How does that define a day?
God knows what time it is.
God builds the clock.
God sets the time on the clock.

There are scientific predictions in the Genesis narrative.

For example, all earth, which is all matter, has light energy within it, and radiates.

Actually the creation account is the highest level of science, since God put all the natural laws in place at that time. Science simply discovers these natural laws and then makes practical applications from them. As to "predicting" anything, you can contact the prognosticators.:)
Big Bang model is used for understanding the universe etc.
So now you have to make a critical choice. Should you believe Big Bang nonsense or should you believe God? You cannot have it both ways.
The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began. At its simplest, it says the universe as we know it started with a small singularity, then inflated over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today.

Did you notice that naturalistic astronomers substituted "a small singularity" for God? So now you do have to make a critical choice. One cannot all himself a Christian and believe in the Big Bang theory.

Archaeologists have discovered 78 flint tools at a north Norfolk beach, showing that humans arrived in Britain much earlier than previously though.

The tools, found near the village of Happisburgh, were thought to have been laid down between
840, 000 and 950, 000 years ago. The find suggest that humans were living in Britain up to 250, 000 years earlier than the previous thought.


"These tools from Happisburgh are absolutely mint-fresh. They are exceptionally sharp, which suggests they have not moved far from where they were dropped," says Professor Chris Stringer, human origins expert at the Natural History Museum.

It is believed that these early humans were hunter gatherers, living on the banks of the ancient river Thames, which flowed through Norfolk but has long since dried up. They would have lived alongside sabre-tooth cats, hyenas and southern mammoths, and would have travelled to Britain along the land bridge that once connected Britain to the rest of Europe.

The users of these tools are believed to be related to the species Homo antecessor (also known as “Pioneer Man”), although currently no human remains have been found.

"This would be the 'holy grail' of our work" says Professor Stringer.
