Obviously, if God is the Creator of the Universe, and if He is the ultimate author of the Scripture, the information we find in these two realms (nature and Scripture) will never contradict. All truth is God’s truth, and truth is never contradictory.
If the information discovered in nature appears to contradict that in the Scripture, 1 of 3 things has taken place:
1) Scripture has been misunderstood and misinterpreted

Lets see, as there are accounts within the bible which contradict, without 1-3 being applicable, the logical conclusion must be that god isn´t the author of the scripture.
"Obviously, if God is the Creator of the Universe"
I like the way you try to downplay that "if." Let's be honest, though. That "if" is so large, it has its own gravity field.
god was entrusted with the Ultimate Scripture, but he left it somewhere and it hasn't been found in a couple million years. He gave the lame excuse that his nephilim ate it, and to get his sorry ass off the hook, he plagiarized some death-cult nonsense and tried to dress it up.
Perfectly reasonable proposition. If X then Y.
"Obviously, if God is the Creator of the Universe, and if He is the ultimate author of the Scripture, the information we find in these two realms (nature and Scripture) will never contradict."
First of all, those are some awful big "ifs."
Second, the two are at odds about damned near everything.
"All truth is God’s truth, and truth is never contradictory."
Show god exists.

4) Your scriptures are bullshit concocted by a bunch of ignorant Bronze Age brutes and, thus, holds no "truth" at all.
Why don't the Ten Commandments include stuff like "Do not dirty the open sore," "Boil water before you drink it," and "Do not suffer the vermin to be in your house," for starters? If the Bible really is a science book, why did it take Science!! to understand germ theory? And it doesn't stop there. The Bible doesn't mention gravity, the speed of light, the contents of the atom, and the effects on a moving body of sudden changes in motion.
It's far too busy with telling you who slept with whom and who slaughtered whom.

This, more than anything I've ever read here, reads like an excerpt from 1984. Even the tone of it. Pretty scary stuff, I'm expecting them to start telling us we've ALWAYS been at war with Iran soon.
Ah, Flori-duh. That explains it.
We're not all fundies, but for some reason we've ended up with a huge population of Evangelicals, fundamentalists, and born-agains. I can only assume it's because of the peculiar demographic mix of lots of retirees (presumably skewing more religious that a younger demographic), native Southern Baptists, and a large population of military personnel, who tend to trend more Conservative.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
