What is interesting, however, is that the Bible often makes reference to scientific things. And when it does, it is always accurate.

Really? Let's look at the story of Noah and his ark. Science teaches us about the water cycle. We don't manufacture water and we don't get it from outer spaces. What we have in the oceans and rivers and lakes and under the ground is pretty much what we've got. The water cycle is the process of evaporation and condensation and precipitation and depends on what we've got available. Now Genesis teaches us that it rained for over 40 days and night, raising the level of the oceans thousands of feet until the mountains were covered. Where did that water come from and where did it go? According to science it would be impossible.

Difference is authorship.

And purpose?

The mountains were very likely nowhere near as high as they are today. In fact, most of the mountains were most likely created after the Flood, as the water was receding. Dr John Baumgardner, Los Alamos Labs, New Mexico, created a program called TERRA with a grant from NASA. With his computer modeling, he demonstrates the plate tectonic processes involved in the formation of terrain as we see it today. It is considered one of the four top computer models in the world today, and demonstrates this entire process of mountain formation and the formation of the continents as we know them today.
