I think it is hard to make this leap. We have no textual support that the speech gives to the disciples in John where he tells them that the HS will lead you into ALL Truth has anything to do with historical, scientific, mathematical truth, etc.In my view the Bible is the source of all truth.
It seems the context is the truth regarding the message of the gospel of the kingdom.
Further Paul's ruminations seem in line with John's having to do with "Instruction in righteousness."
But for argument's sake what are we to make of the unclear narrative in Gen 1-2:3? This scientific account of creation if we are to argue your view, has no less than 7 Bible-believing conservative protestant Christian scholarly views!
Now how is it that case that God is so vague about cosmological accounts as to produce such confusion amongst true Christians?
Further differing accounts in simple historical facts such as 4 different versions of the title hung on the cross describing Jesus and his offense seems absurd if God is this "infallible,divine source of all truth." Are we to believe he can't make the science clear, or statements like, "THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS," consistent between 4 witness, shoot even two?
Since no Christian argues that we get the scriptures via dictation, (mormons and Muslims argue this) why not accept that like all of history, God allows men to freely represent the things God reveals in ways he knew before the foundation of the world would be sufficient to give a witness about him?
Hundreds of difficult conflicts disappear when we affirm a human and divine cooperation in writing the scriptures, something that has been affirmed since the beginning of Christianity. This would also save Evangelicals from having to rewrite commentaries everytime a new scientific discovery is made in order to explain how God actually didn't do it the way they had read into the text and that we should read some new discovery into an ancient author's words. For me see anything by Hugh Ross.
