To be a scientist, at least since St. Augustine, you need to be willing to interpret scripture in the light of facts.
Intellectually I can understand rejecting the world for a vision you read in a book, but in practice I have no interest in doing so.
If I had grown up in family that taught me that doubting the literal word of scripture would subject me to eternal punishment, and if I found myself in a position to lose all my friends and family by accepting the findings of science, I would probably stick with friends and family.
Somehow, that just doesn't have quite the same perjorative ring as "self-imposed ignorance".
What *facts*?
Should Scripture be interpreted in light of the current interpretation of the data which is more likely to be wrong than not?
That still doesn’t qualify *science* as an accurate tool to interpret Scripture with.
