I at least am not claiming scientific knowledge for "every single core Christian claim" nor that the Bible is a science book. What I was discussing, was a priori generalization, that anything viewed to be Christian science, is antithetical to "real science" That is scientific claims that support a Christian worldview are automatically viewed as pseudo-science by definition (based on the result rather than the method.)
As I said, the demarcation of science is a tough philosophical nut to crack. And I don't know that I am qualified to draw that line. However; for me personally my view leans towards method, and the basis of the conclusion, not the conclusion itself.
So, you disagree with me in your first paragraph, and then agree with me in your second: the basis for the conclusion one draws is the most important part of determining whether that conclusion is properly scientific, and this is precisely the reason why christian science is not science, because it skips out on a huge base element of a rationally drawn conclusion.
