Scientists are not infallible!
They can and do get things wrong!
To give just one example of how 'Science' changes it's views:
In the mid and late part of the 20th century a scientist, Dr John Money
|
had a theory that was accepted by virtually all other scientists. The theory was, that the sex of a baby remained 'fluid' until about 2 years old, therefore a baby could be 'programmed' by it's surroundings to be a boy, or a girl. (This was relating to 'Intersex' babies - which have both male and female sexual organs). This theory quashed other suggestions for many decades.
It is now thought that the sex of a baby is determined in the womb by a small part of the brain.[*1]
Scientists can declare something as fact, and then years later it is discovered to be false!
Let's hold tightly onto what is written in the Bible, which cannot be wrong, (but we may interpret it incorrectly), and let's hold lightly onto what the scientists tell us, because in a few decades they may be proved wrong!
