Do not put words in my mouth.
You yourself have claimed several times that you don't think the physical world is important and that only the spiritual world matters. That is not much different than my saying that the Bible is clearly not meant to be taken as a literal description of the world, but rather as a spiritual guide. You also said quite clearly that in many cases where there is a discrepancy between the Biblical version and the observed version of many facts about the physical world, you accept the scientific version; you're just inconsistent in that you don't always come down on the same side when choosing metaphorical (Biblical) version vs. observed (scientific) version.
And science has nothing to do with the state the world is in. You'll have to look for scapegoats other than scientists.
Excuse me? Do you even read what you type. Your words. God gave the Bible to us as a spiritual guide; He left the physical nature of the universe for us to discover. And no amount of quoting scripture at me is going to change my mind about that.

Talk about putting words in another person's mouth. Please point to the post where I said I don't think the physical world is important and that only the spiritual world matters.? You will not find it.
You said Galileo was imprisoned for heresy for saying that the earth orbits around the sun: a statement in direct contradiction to what the Bible says. So was Galileo wrong? He was not the one committing heresy. You cannot produce one single Scripture that the Bible says the earth does not orbit around the sun.

This nation turned over the education of its young to the scientific methodology when the supremes made TOE fittest to survive. Liberalism never takes responsibility for what it creates.
