I would assume that if Mr. Ellerbrock believes the writing of the Bible has scientific limitations, he would only do so if he believes it was not supernaturally written, cannot be taken literally, and possibly does not fully understand what divine inspiration really means.
The real issue is not a matter of science versus religion, it is a matter of philosophical worldviews. What is real science? Where does real science end, and philosophy begin? How can we tell the difference? What is the difference between "science," and "scientific naturalism?"
