The scientists have made the decision for themselves at some time that the Bible is right and is to be trusted along with science. On the other hand some humanists have made the decision that there exists a natural explanation for everything. And so this view will shape the way that they look at origins science. Should the scientists back up to the time before they decided to trust the Bible? Can a humanist back up to the time before which he decided that there is a natural explanation for everything? Is that possible? Can anyone truly be intellectually honest? What are the sources of truth by which one can determine reality? Reason? Science? If there were something supernatural how would one know?

If the scriptures were accurate they would be irrelevant.
The fact is that they are directly contradicted by the physical evidence all the way till circa ~450BC.
You claim to be a PHd student, that implies you can do academic research. The data is there, the evidence is damning; The jews lied through their teeth. There never was a monotheistic kingdom of Isreal or Judah, no Egyptian plagues, no flood, just a bunch of middle eastern con-artists.
