If you believe the Bible stores of Adam and Eve, Noah and the Tower of Babylon are real then guilty as charge.
I do not think religion and science are compatible.
What you "think" and what is are two very different things.
The Bible begins with these words: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” There are many people in the world who do not believe that statement. Some say God does not exist, and therefore, the Bible cannot be His Word. Sometimes we are led to believe that all true scientists do not believe in God, or the Bible. However, this is not correct. True science is not opposed to the Bible. In fact, science, properly applied and understood, proves the Bible to be inspired. The Bible is not a science book. However, whenever it makes a statement relating to a a scientific principle or fact, it is completely accurate.
In 1820 A.D. a man named Hubert Spencer gave the world five scientific principles by which man may study the unknown. They are time, force, energy, space, and matter. However, Moses, by inspiration, gave us those scientific principles in Genesis 1:1.
Some of the greatest Nobel laureates and pioneers in science believed in God - Francis Collins, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Rene Descartes, Johannes Kepler, Sir Francis Bacon, Sir Isaac Newton, Arthur Compton, Blaise Pascal, Ernst Haeckel, Erwin Schrödinger, Galileo Galilei, Gottfried Leibniz, Gregor Mendel, Guglielmo Marconi, James Clerk Maxwell, John Eccles, Louis Pasteur, Max Planck, Michael Faraday, Nicholas Copernicus, Robert Boyle, Robert A. Millikan, Werner Heisenberg, William Harvey, William Thomson Kelvin.
Atheist scientist, Lawrence Krauss, said, “Science does not make it impossible to believe in God. We should recognize that fact and live with it and stop being so pompous about it.”
The statement that science is the only path to t***h contradicts itself because the statement has no basis in science.
