For me, it's not a question of the Bible agreeing with science, rather it is
our science which must conform to the Bible.
Just my view.

This is a familiar assertion. But what are its underlying assumptions? Why
should anyone expect that the biblical text, written 2 or 3 millennia ago,
would be consistent with all discoveries made since that time? Are these
underlying assumptions and expectations warranted, or do they deserve to be
candidly reexamined?
