"Then why did you say actual scientific evidence ...is just as authoritative as Scripture?"

Because they are both the works of God. Neither one depends upon man at all. Yes, man can try to interpret the natural world, its characteristics and laws, just as he tries to interpret Scripture, but God is the author and creator of both, in a manner that indicates His greatness, and not man's greatness.

The misunderstanding, here, may possibly arise from the idea that Scripture is God's but science is man's. This division does not hold.

And "infallibility"? No, I do not believe that any man (other than Christ) is infallible in the positive sense you evidently mean. I do know that no man has the power to lead the whole Church into error on questions of faith and morals. Please notice that this does not refer us to any particular man's (for instance, the Pope's) power, but his powerlessness: he will not be able to do it.

Wow! Assigning 'seeking scientific evidence' to what 'man/evil does' to GOD??

What part of FAITH excludes you? What part of Hear and Obey and 'only BELIEVE' is repulsive to you? What part of Thomas wanting 'evidence' excites you?

The misunderstanding, here..

There was no misunderstanding your words. So you are suggesting....confusion. Not surprised about that either.

Mortal man 'seeking scientific evidence' of the works of supernatural God and His universe is not a work of God BUT a work of PRIDE!! As is those who cannot understand/confused about God's Words..."And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day....And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day...And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

There is nothing confusing about that - but those who think it is - are pawns of satan because that's what he does cause confusion and they oblige him....Did God really say?

I know what God created and it's not evil and it's not confusion and it's not wanting 'evidence'. One either believes ...hear and obeys His Word or they don't.

And "infallibility"? No, I do not believe that any man (other than Christ) is infallible in the positive sense you evidently mean. I do know that no man has the power to lead the whole Church into error on questions of faith and morals.

Lots of gobbly gook and doubt speak there. Man is either infallible or he isn't! It is a either 'yes' or 'no' or it's more of 'not hearing and obeying' His Word.... "God is no respector of persons" and there is ONLY ONE GOD! And HIS CHURCH is based on HIS WORD ALONE and it has no errors. Only a counterfeit church is riddled with damnable errors through 'man-made teachings' which is their final authority and where man submits to man whic is satan's kingdom.

NO MAN is infallible - only satan wants to proclaim someone is infallible so 'man' can be lifted up as God - what he proclaimed he would do and he did through it through Rome.

GOD'S WORD is the FINAL AUTHORITY. Man either submits to GOD ALONE or by default he submits to evil/man with it's man-made teachings. Submit wholly to God or there is no submission to God and the children of the dark remain the children of the dark.
