Come one, dude. Between you, me, the Bible, and the T-Rex in my back yard-- something's fishy, isn't it? You'd think that if 4-meter tall dinosaurs were stepping on people's huts and eating their sheep, that eventually they'd make their way into scripture, wouldn't you? "Verily I say unto thee, thy Velociraptor hath no place in the House of the Lord" or maybe: "The Lord, in His anger, sent a plague of pterodactyls to vex Pharoah, but He did harden his heart so that he said, 'Not even flying fucking lizards will cause me to set free the people of Israel.'" You know, something obvious, like that?
Sure they are looking at the same thing. How do you know your theology is bad? If it doesn't conform to observation....it is bad. True science and true theology should not contradict each other. If they do...one of them is wrong...usually it is not hard to tell which one.
