Bible Note: No, you didn't, Curt. You raised more. You said, "science is the study of the physical world...." Then you go on to give an example of how the truth of Scripture and science match by saying, "Now, let me give an example of science and Scripture matching. First, a simple one: God said, "Let there be light, and there was light". When we look around, there is light! Science and Scripture are in harmony." Curt, is the presence of light science? You gave a definition of science, but this does not seem to fit it. Your more complex example raises more questions. I understand that we are not talking about conclusions drawn from the data but the observed data itself. So, what observed Flood data from Scripture and geology match? For example does a "significant flood" (which I take is the scientific data) match, "The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered. The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. All flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind; of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died."? Gen 7:19-22 If your examples of science are examples of "the study of the physical world," then it is unclear what you mean by science, and therefore it is unclear how the truth of Scripture and science match.
