The Bible is not a science text, neither in biology nor in cosmology. To use it as such or expect it to be usable as such demeans both faith and science. If your understanding of science has no value, base it on faith. If your religious faith has no value, seek scientific proof.

The two are separate for a reason. They address separate human needs.

I wouldn't want food in the chambers of my heart nor blood in my stomach but each are nourished, in a way, by the other. To expect them both to operate the same way is foolish. Likewise science and faith.

Why is this so hard to understand for so many?

"The two are separate for a reason. They address separate human needs"

Who says so, your? Why are you the authority that says the two must be separate?

I disagree, I think it's God's will that we learn more scientifically about creation. Newton, Einstein, et. al. studied science to learn Gods secrets.

Because if God exists, He isn't a third rate biology student.
