“Saying the Bible is not a book about science is like saying a cookbook is not a book about chemistry.”

Pursuance of truth requires consideration of a creator. If you define science to exclude the possibility of a creator, it isn’t a pursuance of truth.
The universe as accepted by science in terms of size and age is not big enough or old enough to explain evolution.

“Suppose then, that I do read this Bible honestly, fairly, and when I get through I am compelled to say, “The book is not true.””

Robert G. Ingersoll (1833–1899) Union United States Army officer

If this is the honest result, then you are compelled to say, either that God has made no revelation to me, or that the revelation that it is not true, is the revelation made to me, and by which I am bound. If the book and my brain are both the work of the same Infinite God, whose fault is it that the book and the brain do not agree? Either God should have written a book to fit my brain, or should have made my brain to fit his book.
Some Reasons Why (1881)
