Why worry about the scientific accuracy of the Bible when it is clear that science and religion never mix anyway?
Because some take the Bible as a literal and infallible account of whatever it documents. Science is religiously neutral. It deals with finding cause and effect, and by definition, the causes science finds are not supernatural. The question of the origin of the universe is not one with a supernatural answer, as so many scientific postulations, hypotheses, conjectures and demonstrable theories show. When someone reads the story of Noah’s Flood and believes it actually occurred, then there is a clear advance on the terrain of geology, physics, chemistry, physiology, biology, ecology and astrophysics. Nobody takes the stories of Osiris and Thor as literal fact, even if they were fulfilled prophecies at one time for the people who believed in them.
