There difference is that the broad interpretations of the Bible are divergent while the major theories of science are convergent.

Huh?

The history of science has taken and will continue to take many varied paths. Some leading to deadends and outright untruths.

The Bible leads to many interpretations but the source remains fixed.

I can remember when the "big bang" theory was fought tooth and nail by modern scientists because it was so ....shall we say...biblical?

The Bible has never waivered in it's insistence in a finite universe. Science has flip flopped on the issue.

I will agree that "practical" science as opposed "speculative" science, (e.g. origin of species, cosmology) does converge.

So that was Tom Golds' and Fred Hoyle's objection? Perhaps you have a link to Gold and Hoyle's comments on the subject. (These were the primary opponents of the Big Bang theory.)
