And since God, by definition, cannot be a liar, science must therefore be false.
Here and there we see it claimed that science is "inconsistent" or sometimes "contradictory", or suffers from "gaps" in its theories.
On the other side we see it admitted that the Bible does include metaphorical language, which need not be taken literally, but what rules, exactly, should be used to divide literal from metaphorical(?) are never spelled out.
For example: is a "yom" day 24 hours, or a thousand years, or an undetermined length "age"?
My own view is that God did not lie in the Bible because, by definition, He cannot lie.
On the other hand, God always speaks to us in language & words we can understand (else they are not for us) so His communications to Biblical writers were in words & metaphors which made sense to them.
Whether & how those words (in translation) make sense to us is a matter for deep prayer & contemplation.
But it's most noteworthy that the Bible and science agree on two very key points:
- God created the Universe in what science calls a Big Bang: "let there be light".
- God created man from mud, which is also what science says, though it calls God's miracles "natural processes".
