There's an honesty in science, often lacking in theology.
Science doesn't have all the answers, nor does it claim to have.

His answer? "We don't know."

Better, I tender, 'not to know' than to just make stuff up to fill in the blanks. (Enter the theist).

...I said much knowledge gained from science can’t be fully trusted at any single point in time.
I guess you need a prophet.

True.
I guess you need a prophet.
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:”
(Hebrews 1:1-3)

Nope, global warming flooded the Persian Gulf.

It certainly does claim that. Look at how many “scientists” treat those who challenge or want to further investigate the theories of man-made global warming and evolution.
Originally posted by @js357Apparent soundness? Why would my relationship with God lead me to back off from denying a claim that nobody can agree on as true?
It seems to me that this personal relationship with God, being the basis of your belief about the flood, would lead you to back off from denying the apparent soundness of the scientific interpretation, which is advanced by people who do not have your personal relationship with God as guidance in this matter. There may even be people who have.a personal relationship with God, who disagree with you on the science.
Christians don't agree with each other on everything that's out there. Trust in God isn't contingent on knowing the whole truth about many things.
A relationship with God, though, is contingent on believing certain essentials of the gospel, the flood not being one of them.
Yes, I believe there was a global flood just as God said. Believing that doesn't cause me to have a relationship with God. God is the cause. I digress.
I don't think science is all that sound. I trust it for practical things, but I don't think it's scientific to disagree with God.
It'll all come out in the wash! 😉
Originally posted by @secondsoni agree it’s not scientific to disagree with God since science is silent on the very existence or nonexistence of God and all other supernatural things. It deals only with natural explanations.
