Well, science gives a more complete answer than that. You see, when I can't give you the precise details about how the moon was formed because some aspects of it are still being discovered, you say "Aha! Science is wrong! The Bible is right!" But when I ask you what the Bible says, your reply is "God made it."

This is exactly why we don't teach Creationism, and why Creation "science" isn't science. Your "science" doesn't explain anything. It's not useful in any way. It can't be refuted in any way. You just say it, and boom, there's the moon.

I withdraw my objection to teaching Creation "science." We don't need to waste any time on it after all, because all a teacher needs to do in order to cover it in detail and in summary is to get up on the first day of class and say, Here's Creationism: "God made everything. The End."

And then the teaching of actual science can begin.

I don't completely disagree with you... except to this point. I don't say "boom, there's the moon". I say God said that. I believe it as stated in scripture. It is as testable as anything in the past. Really, it is more testable, because God proves himself to those who believe .... daily.

You see... christianity is and always has been, and always will be about faith. I don't apologize for that. I spend a life time developing and growing that faith. It's a belief system that comes through revelation. The bible says "all scripture is useful teaching and training". I believe that.

You readily admit that science doesn't have all of the answers yet. And science is based on theory that either proves correct or incorrect. And when it proves incorrect a new theory takes its place. That's what it is.

God's word is the same today and yesterday. Its settled as a matter of faith. If science or humanism proves it wrong, it is just a matter of unsettled science that some day gets righted.

Can science prove out scripture? Sometimes. Sometimes not. Its called faith for a reason. Where science proves scripture... that's great. Where it doesn't... that's great too. That's where we find God. In faith.
