"If sound science appears to contradict the Bible, we may be sure that it is our interpretation of the Bible that is at fault."
Christian Observer, 1832, pg. 437

Thanks for the quotes, shubi. That one needs to be shouted.

"If sound science appears to contradict the Bible, we may be sure that it is our interpretation of the Bible that is at fault."

That goes back to Galileo:
Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina of Tuscany. Galileo's opinion about science/scripture conflicts.

It is now the Pope's position: The Pope's 1996 statement on evolution. Excerpt:

It is necessary to determine the proper sense of Scripture, while avoiding any unwarranted interpretations that make it say what it does not intend to say. In order to delineate the field of their own study, the exegete and the theologian must keep informed about the results achieved by the natural sciences.

I have been preaching this for many years now.

I have been working from the Hebrew in Genesis 1 for 20 years and I think much of it comports quite well with modern science, considering the culture of several thousand years ago and the restrictions of a non-technical language.
