It does agree but with the science of parallel dimension. As many Christians on this forum will testify to you is that God lives in another dimension, and all the stuff that is written in the Bible actually happened in that dimension.
That's why atheists are futile in their questions when they ask why isn't there any archeological evidence that Moses existed or Samson or David or Jesus or Lot.
Or why aren't there winged humanoid creatures living along with dragons and talking snakes as is described in the Bible? Because it all happened in another dimension and all we have now are just stories that we are supposed to hear or read and get some moral lesson about it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
