While science deals with external reality and the laws that governs it, literature is more concerned with inner reality and the human condition. Each has its own benefits to humakind and one should not be inherently placed atop the other. However, if there is to be an answer in favour of the sciences, it is true that eventually only science will be able to help us when we encounter problems in nature both trivial, such as curing the common cold, to epic such as escaping the Earth when the sun reaches its red giant stage and scorch everything on the surface of the Earth.

Must the facts about science agree with the Bible?

There is no real requirement for science to agree with the words of the Bible, or even for the Bible to literally agree with modern science. Stephen Jay Gould explained this when he said that the domain or magisterium for science is the empirical realm - what the universe is made from and why it works the way it does. The magisterium of religion includes the ultimate meaning and moral values. These magisteria are nonoverlapping - science does not comment on the ultimate meaning of life, while religion should not comment on the natural world.At times the Bible does disagree with the facts of science, which makes Stephen Jay Goud's recommendation more significant for Christians.
