seeing the bible is not a scientific book, we should let scientists answer
Bravo!
Would you be willing to extend this consideration to other natural sciences?
Like all geosciences and all subfields of the geosciences that clearly show there was no global flood?
Like chemistry and physics that clearly show radioactive decay has not changed over time?
Like virtually all biosciences which clearly show common ancestry to all life?
And these concepts are all interrelated and mutually supportive.
To me pick-N-choose science is as bad as pick-N-choose Biblical literalism as both are examples of hypocrisy.
