But, as usual, you maintain a zero grasp on how science works, and why what's in a science book is vetted in a way that the Bible could never hope to achieve.
You're also completely missing the point-- when you ask us for a scriptural reason your faith is incorrect (allowing you to play whack-a-mole with the concept of interpretation), it's like asking me to use The Lord of the Rings to disprove Middle Earth's mythology.
I have to much respect for God and His word to play around with interpretations. All science books saying the same thing is no different than having one book. The Bible has been vetted, of coarse not by sources you would accept, I trust God's infallibility and the people He's chosen to lead us.

No, first off "respect" is a hollow cliche. It means, "Know your place" and "Don't bruise my ego"...... I never use that word.
You value the IDEA of having a super hero, but so do other people with different god claims. I get you like that idea, many of us used to like the idea of having a cosmic security guard too. You don't value facts, you value unverifiable claims. Claims you bought before you had any clue what good logic skills were.
"I have too much respect for Allah and His word to play around with interpretations"
"I have too much respect for Yahweh and His word to play around with interpretations"
"I have too much respect for the Hindu god Bhrama to play around with his interpretations"
"I have too much respect for Buddha to play around with his interpretations"
Get in line, take a number.
