God has communicated through human authors and through their intentions. The human author’s communication is inspired and carries authority. It cannot be cast aside abruptly for modern thinking. The human author gives us access to the divine message. It has always been so. If additional divine meaning is intended, we must seek out another inspired voice to give us that additional divine meaning, and such an inspired voice can only be found in the Bible’s authors. Scientific theory does not qualify as such an inspired voice.
