Are you seriously trying to sell the idea that science can have nothing to say on a book like bible, or The Chronicles of Narnia?
Let's say that I am told to sit down, with three texts, 2 of which have talking animals( Bible, Narnia) 1 of which does not (Garden Insects of North America), and I wouldn't be able to make at least 1 classification between them, based on the body of scientific evidence available to me? I could not say that the bible belongs to a group of texts with talking animals, and that talking animals do not appear to exist. Could I not give this type of writing a header...say......Fiction?
Because science can have a word on issues like the Bible and the Chronicles of Narnia does not mean our discussion of whether science can answer everything or not is related to the original topic. It does not. You have to admit that our discussion was off-topic, whether you like it or not. And by the way, we weren't discussion something scientific per se, but philosophy of science.
