I see nothing wrong with science when it does not contradict the Bible, but when it does, then I do have a problem and know that there is an error somewhere, whether by error or as to deceive. The Bible is old...but it is still true and infallible, science is not.

"I see nothing wrong with science when it does not contradict the Bible, but when it does, then I do have a problem and know that there is an error somewhere, whether by error or as to deceive."
I see nothing wrong with the Bible when it does not contradict science, history and good ethics.
"The Bible is old..."
Old, and full of errors and bad ethics. It is largely irrelevant to today's society.
"but it is still true and infallible, science is not."
The Bible is true and infallible? Talking sanke, virgin birth, flying rolls which burn the houses of thieves, resurrection, etc.?
The bible is infallible? I can refute that with one bible quote.
Exodus 17:14
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven."
Considering the fact that he hasn't been forgotten, and is part of the most often sold/stolen book on the planet, we can conclude that the bible was wrong.
I see nothing wrong with the Bible as a religious book of stories, like hundreds of other books of many various religions. I do have a problem with it being used as a history or science book, as I do with any of those other books of other religions.
Following your logic, do you think the very computer you're using it's invalid?, why do you use antibiotics and cars if you think so of science and, when asked if whales are fishes and if snakes can speak or men can live 900 years you roll up your eyes?
The bible does not mention antibiotics or antivirals if you get sick, it does mention rubbing yourself with oil and getting prayed over by the elders at your place of worship.
Which would you do if you got sick? If it is the latter, you are an idiot.
The bible is about as true and infallible as that chimp you have for a president.
... which explains the birth of ID research.
Not to worry, I'll fix this:
"I see nothing wrong with the Bible when it does not contradict science, but when it does, then I do have a problem and know that there is an error somewhere, whether by error or as to deceive. Science not true or infallible...but it is still the best we've got, the Bible is not."
There.
Good, so the next time you need a hospital or doctor, we'll set it up so they can only do to you what your "infallible" bible says. Science and medicine are not infallible, you know, so you can't have any of that non-biblical modern medicine.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
