Very well said. If one believes that the Scriptures are the Word of God, then one must also believe that nothing a scientist discovers can contradict Scripture. The scientist's conclusions about what he discovered may be in error, but the data itself, if accurately recorded, cannot contradict the Bible. (Two contradictory things cannot both be true.) Thus scientific endeavors are no threat to one's faith. Instead, they cannot do anything other than confirm and strengthen our faith.
