I don't mind a little science now and then, but when science contradicts the Scriptures, it has gone too far.
As I have said many times before, we Christians actually hold science up to a higher standard than even scientists themselves do, when we claim that God is the Author of science.
(Just FYI, it was a creationist who invented the scientific method.)

You take science higher, of course, to benefit from computers or medicines, not to contribute to progress. If it has to agree with an inerrant Bible, all that would disappear. Come on, don´t take the Bible literarilly. It´s inspired by God, and written by MEN.

How cute, "a little science, now and then."
"but when science contradicts the Scriptures, it has gone too far."
Uh huh, you're offended when reality clashes with your big book of ancient fairy tales? Pardon me, but I don't have any sympathy for that stupid position.

No, you simply ignore facts in favor of what to you is a more pleasant delusion.
"(Just FYI, it was a creationist who invented the scientific method.) "
Even if that is true, it is irrelevant. A truth is equally true whether it comes from your best friend or your worst enemy.

Suck it up, wimp. It was only a matter of time before the primitive nonsense in the Bible would be overtaken by science and actual knowledge. Unlike you, we actually want to learn.

Basically, he means a little AIG here, some DI there, a little Hovind up the butt...er...wait, Hovind's the one getting...well, you know.
Er, science, fact and truth just is . If it contradicts your little book, then it's your problem, not science.
I remember when Sid Farkus invented the scientific method in his garage. Racine, Wisconsin, 1927, right? The sad thing is, at the time he thought it was a recipe for bread pudding.
Wiki sayeth:
The development of the scientific method is inseparable from the history of science itself. Ancient Egyptian documents, such as early papyri, describe methods of medical diagnosis. In ancient Greek culture, several basic elements of the inductive scientific method were described. There you go AV, the first two cultures to use the scientific method believed in gods, but not your god. ;D
