Problem is you seem to want to trust science as much or more than the Bible.
As for me I choose to trust the Bible first and foremost esp. when it contradicts science.
And I do not have a problem w/ being wrong nor learning from my mistakes. Lack of mistakes shows lack of effort.
I trust the truth because God is the author of all truth, He cannot lie. I sometimes look th the real world for evidence to support and explain God's truth, never to refure it.
Do you trust God so little that you would bury your head in the sand for fear of "outing" Him?
