Truly unbiased and objective science is a good thing. The eventual answer to science's questions and observable fact based reasoning will ultimately point to the laws that govern the universe.
We are supposed to seek, and keep on seeking for truth with the hope that eventually we will indeed find it. This is not arbitrary hope, but hope based on God's promise that if we seek and keep on seeking we will find. If we knock and keep on knocking, the door will be opened.
The problem comes when we "shop" for the truth that best fits our own designs. Too often we stop when we find the answer that we want to hear, instead of continuing until we find the truth. Too often we believe what we want to believe, and ignore anything and everything that doesn't fit into our neat little model of how we want the universe to function.
Shopping for truth has its consequences:
Pro 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.
The world tends to go through several "flat earth theory" phases. There will be times when some ideas seems reasonable to cursory observation and become very popular. However when taken in the whole body of evidence (geology, physics, mathematics) it just doesn't add up right. Eventually, as we learn more about our universe, we will grow out of this phase -- and very likely right into another.
An advantage that we as believers have the Bible as a foundation and the benefit of a Helper who will lead and guide us into all truth.
Joh 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself, but whatever He hears, He shall speak. And He will announce to you things to come.
Seek and keep on seeking, and as you seek keep the bible as your foundation and plumb-line to keep you on the straight and narrow.
