Science and religion can live side by side with many things. I like science. I see it as a gift from God.
Why would we do that? What would be the point. The bible can't even tell me what the Sun is made of. It isn't an appropriate reference for the nature of the Sun and other stars.-Ok simple task, prove from The Bible that the sun is a star and stars are suns (as science claims).

Speaking as a Christian and scientist, I find the remark of science being a gift from God from one particular individual here a deliberate slur as it takes the accomplishments away from the scientists, yet when there is the perception of science getting it wrong it becomes all the scientists fault.
I have not invited you to nor am I at your beckoned call to prove to you anything based on what question you put to me. I post replies to you only when I want to based on what I might want to say.-Ok simple task, prove from The Bible that the sun is a star and stars are suns (as science claims).

Did you try reading my post?Wrong.
God is the creator of everything. He has given humankind something more than any other creature on earth.
He has given us the ability to learn, to explore and to understand the beauty of His creation.
I don't have to name the particular individual concerned who has a long history of blaming science for things that don't even involve science and then idiotically asserts that science is a gift from God.
This individual seems to be blissfully unaware he is denigrating God in the process.
I am a firm believer in free will and the credit and the failures of science fall with the scientists not God.
Not that I believe in any gods, but in what senseCatholic church is very much in favour of science.
God gave us science remember. He gave it to us through learned people.
How do you know it's not?Bible is not supposed to be used for scientific purpose. You still err in this, again and again.
Not that I believe in any gods, but in what sense can you possibly say humankind was " given" science?
It has been a long hard process to develop science,
... even without the church fighting it every inch.
Nothing was just "given".
People are faulty and inadequate enough already, without denying credit for what we have done.
How do you know it's not?
It was for many centuries, still is seen as the authority on, say, earth history by, at a guess, most Christians.
The book presents as infallible, not something to disregard where facts are concerned.
To me the "not to be used as" is a latter day construct to plug a hole.
Easily. The modern empirical concept of science (with its logical formalism and naturalism) did not exist in the Old Testament era. It was the mythological era. We cannot read such texts as scientific, its an obvious error - anachronism.How do you know it's not?

No. I do not.Dlamberth, you see love under every nook and cranny of the universe.
Do you agree with this statement?
No. I do not.
On day 4 of creation according to Genesis 1:14-16.And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day
God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years.” Following this, it is written that God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night—as well as the stars.
