The critical difference is that understanding science is not necessary. Whether or not one understands how electrons are transmitted has no bearing on whether one can use electronic devices, much less what happens to one after one dies. It is definitely useful, and of immense benefit, to understand how things work, but you can get by in life without most of it.
If you don't get God's 'truth' right, however, you pay for it forever.
The Bible is difficult to read because it badly-written and inconsistent. Centuries of theologians have perpetrated a giant fraud by making it out to be far more obtuse than it really is, but it's understandable: without the hard work of such useless people, the Bible would have been rightly discarded ages ago as the useless pulp fiction it really is.
Read it straightforward and you get the distilled truth of the Judeo-Christian God. Listen to theologians if you want the intellectual equivalent of a paid testimonial in an infomercial for bra-filling silicone inserts.
