What is not touched upon in Augustine's writing is that the infidel wants to be the final arbiter of what the Christian shall believe about the physical world according to the standards and bounds as determined by that same infidel.

Many have gone to “science” to ask what part of the Bible they may believe as factual, true, and have been told to toss this and that in the name of not being “unscientific”.

To do so is mistaken as much of what is called science is what the Apostle Paul called, “contradictions of the falsely called “knowledge” “. It is this that the Bible conflicts with not fact.

Paul was talking about the religious beliefs of the Gnostics, not the subject of science as it is understood today.
