Or maybe, those who subscribe to the biblical account of creation, rather than discarding anything have, in some sense, gotten beyond the “infinitely wise” scientist who, preoccupied with his charts and maps and theories and uncounted discoveries ignores what it is he is actually looking at, in favor of his own understanding.
When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts, the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.
Seems to me that requires a rather malicious deity - one who tests people's faith in literal Biblical truth by intentionally deceiving them with contrary evidence.
