Science is discovering how God made things to be. Like the bible says about the human body, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Because whatever Being created this complicated, brilliant, and perfect system is Someone so wise and smart They should be feared and honored.
But learning how the body comes together and works, matter of fact learning about all creation, is not the only factor to consider. Unlike God, mankind can be wrong.
He can be convinced in his mind that things are a certain way, even when he's wrong. { "And, there is a whole lot of that..." ( more than most people ever fathom ) } Mankind used to think the world was flat, and that if you sailed too far away, that you would fall off the earth. But the bible is always right. Long before scientists discovered it, the bible said that the earth was a sphere, and hangs upon nothing.
{ Please show me scripture that says the earth is a sphere. And, before you pull out the phrase 'circle of the earth' - remember that a 'circle' is not necessarily a 'ball' - it could simply be a 'circle'.
The Bible indicates that the earth is stationary ( 'non-moving' ). What about that...? } (I guess they didn't read their bibles).
{ Perhaps some do not read their bibles today? ( I am not saying this to insinuate *you* in particular - I am just making a point about what is said in the sentence that is highlighted above. Not only is a great deal of 'science' exceedingly "assumed" ( i.e. - a lot of it does not [ really ] actually "pass the test" ); there is a whole lot of bible misinterpretation, too...
) }
But there is yet another factor to consider. God always leaves room for faith, because without faith it is impossible to please God. That is the whole purpose of Him making creation in the first place- to see who would believe in Him and obey Him (even though He already knows, we must go through the motions). He considers faith the same as obeying, and disbelief the same as disobeying, because He says His invisible qualities are clearly seen in what was created, so that mankind is without excuse. They would have to suppress their God-given conscience and thoughts in order to not believe. They do this because believing there is a God means believing in right and wrong, and the rewards or consequences that go along with it (heaven and hell), and since they are on the disobedient side, that does not conclude well for them. So they would rather be in denial and live for pleasure on this earth, which is very short-lived compared to eternity.
So since God has to leave room for faith, so that we may have the opportunity to obey Him, so that we can spend eternity in heaven with Him, He has to erase some of His footprints so-to-speak, and we just have to take Him at His Word (bible). And here's the brilliant thing, He even lets the obedient ones know what He's doing, without letting the disobedient ones know. Why and how? One because the bible says He shares His business with His friends, and two He needs to leave the opportunity for faith to the disobedient in case they change their mind, because He wants everyone to be saved that will choose to be.
Ok so how does He let the obedient know what He's doing without letting the disobedient know? He created our minds, and set us up with a conscience and ability to reason and understand- let's call this a door in our minds. To the obedient He says to ask, seek, and knock, and He will open the door of understanding to us. This requires study and prayer- something that the disobedient are not willing to do. But even if you share with them what you have learned, they still will not understand because they suppress the truth and their conscience. They want to see plainly with their own eyes, but even when they do their conscience suppresses the plain truth right in front of them. There were many miracles performed in bible, but they didn't change a single heart. The obedient still would have had faith, and the disobedient still didn't change their heart. 1 Corinthians 1:27 God says He uses the simple things of the world to shame the wise. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
Therefore, this is why scientists cannot fully understand without faith in God. The spiritual was here first, and the physical came from the spiritual, so if you try to understand the physical while denying its spiritual ingredients, you could never have a full understanding. Because the natural comes from the supernatural- Who can change the laws He set forth in nature- to walk on water and to hover in the sky, or to reverse the effects of disease. If you only think in terms of physics, you limit your understanding. I have faith because I don't need to see what the ingredients are and how they work together, because my mind does not focus on physics but on the spiritual. I don't need to know how someone physically gives bread to the hungry while another physically ends someone's life with weapons, I need to know the roots of good and evil, and to decide which side I'm on before physicality is no more, and I forevermore exist in a spiritual state in one of these two groups- heaven or hell.
