I love science and scientific studies. Glad to find a newer discussion related to the one from last year 
I don’t claim expertise to any scientific field. But I would like to share some input on this topic.
As have been previously stated, the Bible…
But when the Bible speaks of scientific matters Bible-believers would do good to hold to Its truth despite seeming contradiction or inconsistency with the prevailing or accepted scientific convention.
The Bible has proven Itself true throughout the ages (even for eternity), but science (i.e., the observable and verifiable knowledge of the material world) has been shown to evolve depending on the available data or technology.
If a Biblical statement comes in conflict with a known scientific truth, students of the Bible should know that the passage is not meant to be a scientific statement but is rather considered either as
- A figure of speech (e.g., Mt.12:34b),
- A generalization of a fact from a particular perspective (e.g., geo-centric solar system), or
- A yet to be verified scientific data (e.g., one-way speed of light)
Going back to the main question:
For legitimacy…
Eccl.3:11 (KJV)
He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Considering the dynamic eternity that awaits the redeemed, I am of the opinion that this passage can be put to read/to mean that…
The Lord has set the minds of men to explore His creation for eternity. And yet despite man’s perfect intelligence and plenty of time to explore, he will continuously be amazed of God’s creation and will come back to Him in worship and adoration of how wonderful His creation is—a pleasant bonus to the already unfathomable wonder of the glorious Redemption.
If this groaning, broken creation brings His yet fallen (albeit, redeemed) sons and daughters to amazement and praises, imagine what eternal chorus of hallelujahs a perfect Creation would inspire from the lips of the gloried saints!
For specificity…
Luke17:24 (KJV) For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
The simultaneous Rapture of the saints is illustrated using the speed of light in this verse.
The accepted speed of light as currently defined (see Einstein convention on the speed of light) should actually be put into question considering the recent discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). But the evolutionist/naturalist bias of the prevailing cosmology (of the ”science falsely so called”) would rather extend the age of the universe rather than accept a young universe.
Matt.19:4 (KJV)
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
Considering the current trend of confusion and ambiguity on the subject of gender and sexuality nowadays, I think it is superfluous to expound on the scientific accuracy and immutability of God’s Word compared to the evolving nature of the sciences.
