giving fallible science priority over infallible scripture is a devaluation of scripture by definition.
Priority in what sense? In one's life - no. For finding the area of a cone, yes? Does it devalue scripture to use science for science and Scripture for Scripture?
No more than it devalues a rake to use a shovel for digging.
God says he created the Universe and everything in it in Six Days.
And from this we infer facts about anthropology, geology and paleontology? Not it's intended purpose. A category error and a misuse of Scripture.
Scientist often perform this error in reverse, we do not help ourselves by doing the same.
thanks for your reply..
==Does it devalue scripture to use science for science and Scripture for Scripture?
If it conflicts with the Bible, yes it does. For instance, science says that turning water into vintage wine in an instant is scientifically impossible. And yet, the Bible records that that is precisely what Jesus Christ, the Son of God, did at the wedding feast. This is a historical, eyewitness account, and therefore takes priority over science. The same goes for the eye-witness creation account in Genesis. It was written by God Himself, and takes priority over man-made, fallible science.
