The conclusions of scientists must be true, they say. Thus the theologian is the ultimate interpreter of Scripture, while the scientist is the ultimate authority on nature. In this view, if the conflict deals with matters of faith and practice, then the scientist must yield to the theologian, but if it deals with science or origins, the Scripture yields to the Scientist. Thus the Bible is made to bend to accommodate the conclusions of the scientist in science and history. But, scientists are not omniscient.
Scientists can and do make mistakes.
Scientists are some of the most biased people in the world. Furthermore, they are incapable of gathering all the necessary information, as well as incapable of fully understanding what they do gather. No wonder they often disagree with each other. All scientists have inherited from Adam a cursed brain and a fallen mind. Empirical science, locked in the natural world as it is, can never succeed in reconstructing the supernatural acts of God without revelation, especially ultimate origins.
