IIRC, science requires a willingness to drop an incorrect idea - in fact, there is usually a race to see who can falsify an accepted view first.
There is in science history a guy called Popper. He wrote some great material on this topic, the seminal work in the area.
Basically, he said that it simply cannot be considered science if it is unfalsifiable. Brilliant man. Naturally, the evolutionists are determined to destroy his ideas because they, alone among the sciences, don't pass his tests.

Falsifiability
This is interesting because it asks us exactly what we think science is and how do we do 'science'? What is and is not science? Fascinating.
We can observe that evolutionists have consistently refused to admit the shortcomings of their theories or they keep modifying them in ways that cannot be tested or creating truly bizarre theories. To me, it's like how you can't ever prove anything in formal semantics. Or Marxism. There's something a little hysterical in their approach, like they're hiding a crazy aunt in the attic.
Evolution is, as many top scientists have admitted, just a working theory because they can't assume that God causes everything. In other words, we have to assume natural processes that we can analyze and understand and that the underlying physical laws remain constant. Many strident evolutionist types like to declare war on religion. But the real top scientists just use the assumptions of natural process and don't try to pick a fight with religion. And I don't see Christians with a problem with this. After all, who wants to fly on a plane designed according to the principles of creation science? Not me.
I suppose many Christians would observe that God created quantum physics to torture scientists who doubt His existence but I prefer to think God is kind and we're just still a little stupid.

If we knew everything we would understand the relationship between Biblical stories of creation and Astronomical data. But we don't so it gives us problems, unless we adopt the humble position so wisely recommended earlier on this thread.
The Bible is truth. Scientific fact is truth. Our minds are fallable. If the Bible and scientific fact seem to contradict, we are interpreting one or the other or both incorrectly.
IMHO: Probably both.
Shalom.
