The Science- versus- Religion opposition

Apostle Paul said that the creation around us is evidence that God exists.
(Rom 1:20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
But those who hold to the scientific method for determining facts demand a different standard of proof.
Is a scientific approach the best way to establish whether there is God?

Some say that the Bible is religion and Science is truth, and that means the two are incompatible. But if the Bible is only a religious book, then we might as well not study gravity, hydrological cycle, and the importance of blood in living things, because Scripture describes all these scientific facts:
• The earth floats in space – (Job 26:7) He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.”
• Wash under running water, dealing with diseases – (Leviticus 15:13) And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
• Information in the blood – (Leviticus 17:11) for the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
• The circle of the Earth – ( Isaiah 40-22) It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
• The Bible and oceanography – (Psalm 8:8) the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
• Light waves and radio waves – (Job 38: 35) Canst thou send lightening’s, that they may go, and say unto thee, here we are?
• The first Law of thermodynamics – (Genesis 2:1) thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
• The Bible and Quarantine – (Leviticus 13:46) all the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.
• The Bible and dinosaurs – (Job 40:15-17) behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares

God bless!
