This choice is made clear by the God in the Bible. The Bible is from God. Science is from mankind.
God, who knows and understands and perfectly manages everything, also makes us aware of the fact that we are limited in our ability to gain knowledge, understanding, and the ability to manage things.
No matter how much knowledge and understanding and control we gain, what we do not know and do not understand and cannot manage is vastly more. Through our natural minds mankind can use Science to gain knowledge and understanding and therefore manage a lot, and much of it seems amazing to us. But because we cannot comprehend how much we really do not know, we jump to many invalid conclusions or think we know what is going on when we really do not. Just doing a study of our history of concluding that something was a fact, but was later found to be incorrect, demonstrates this reality. And many of the things we did, thinking we were correct, sooner or later produced devastating consequences, and some still are. On a limited basis mankind has discovered many things that repeat over and over again enough times, using controlled scientific study, to conclude that under certain specific circumstances the end result will always be the same, and this has been very helpful in many ways. So a lot of scientific discoveries can be trusted, at least to a degree. But in our pride we then, without proper, controlled, extensive enough scientific study, jump to a lot of conclusions that are not complete, and call those conclusions fact, even though they are really still only theories. That's the difference between Science and the Bible. The Bible is from God who knows and manages everything in full detail. Science is only the conclusions we come to based only on what we know, which is a very small part of everything.
The Bible makes it clear that our natural minds cannot receive, believe, or understand the things of God, yet people have used their natural minds to study the Bible, and therefore have come to numerous wrong conclusions concerning who God is, what he says or means, and what has really happened. Take what people have concluded is the age of the earth. Some have chosen to adamantly believe that the earth is only as old as the days they have counted using the Bible's accounting of days. Yet God tells us in the Bible that to God a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as a day. So when God had men led by the Holy Spirit write the words that became the Bible, when was He using the word "day" to mean what we now call a day? Yet many dogmatically insist that the 7 days of creation described in Genesis means 7 of what we call days now. The truth is, there is so much we don't know, we cannot really be absolutely sure. The Bible is full of many astounding mysteries that God chose not to explain to us. Our real decision is whether we choose to believe God is the perfectly complete being who knows and manages all, perfectly, or not. And we will never be able to scientifically prove that because God, and all knowledge, is way beyond our ability to know completely. In my experience I have yet to come across a real scientific fact that disagrees with the Bible. And most of the time the real facts science produces have shown me that the Bible is true. There is a big difference between circumstantial evidence and real provable evidence. The Theory of Evolution is a large collection of circumstantial evidence that much of mankind has then jumped to the conclusion is "fact". On the other hand people who think they know exactly when God is being literal instead of symbolic, and think they know what a "day" is to God, conclude there is no truth to the Theory of Evolution. No one should think so highly of themselves to conclude they know enough of the whole truth they can be dogmatic about it. It is also known that we humans filter out seeing or hearing some information we don't like, and focus on and remember what we do like. So, since that is how our natural minds work, how do we know we are really perceiving anything accurately enough to be dogmatic about it. It often, if not most often, boils down to what we want. When it comes down to having to make a choice, do you want to believe what the Bible says instead of what science seems to say? Or do you want to believe what science says. And that, as far as I know, is exactly what God wants you to decide. God tells us information about Himself and other things. Do we want to believe in Him, and therefore believe Him.
And so it is with all things spiritual, it also boils down to choosing what you want to believe. It is a matter of faith. Are you going to put your faith in mankind and believe what our natural minds say, or are you going to choose to put your faith in God and believe Him. I chose, and still choose, to put my faith in God for at least 2 reasons. 1 is because He showed me the evidence that the Bible tells the truth, the other is because I want to believe that God, as the Bible describes Him, is real. I personally have a hard time seeing how anyone would not want to believe in such a perfect and wonderful God, once they know enough of what the Bible says about Him. So keep seeking and learning about God and let HIm show you more and more how wonderful He, and His plan, is, even when it is hard. But the Bible also tells us that he who believes without seeing is blessed. Choose to put your faith in God who knows, understands, created, and sustains everything perfectly.
