“It’s just that we know in the end, that the scientific explanation must match what God said happened.”
This statement is the problem with the whole notion of “Christian science”. You have decided on what the outcome must be before performing the experiment. This is the very antithesis of science and rational inquiry.
For whatever reason, be it fear, a personal weakness, or simply indoctrination, you have come to the erroneous conclusion that when science disagrees with your book, it’s the science that is wrong. A rational person would recognize that it is the book which is wrong and would then come to the unavoidable conclusion that it is therefore NOT the word of god.
If the only credentials the book had for being the word of God was the disputed science, I'd probably agree with you. But the book has fulfilled prophecies, and it has the nation of Israel's testimony to being the written works of Moses who was confirmed by both prophecies and miracles.

Actually I think it's the other way around. The current scientific clique is predetermined to make everything fit into a long age framework
Anyway, we don't decide outcomes, it's the interpretations of what outcomes mean, that we dispute. And we dispute them, because the Creator has way more credence with us, than the latest so-called scientific fad. That's why Dave posts all those articles where the leading so-called scientific minds are constantly chucking out one theory and imagining a replacement theory.
