How do you reconcile scientific standards with divine precepts?

Update:

The truth in religion (Islam) is to make the symbiosis between science and faith.

    Scientific knowledges deal only with materialistic point of views or empirical world , then it is out of the fold of abstract thinking, ie, religious believes, morals and ethics of human being. Science deny lineally that it did not know where the first pure energy that has no form but can perform work came from , and later on after big bang turn to be our universe. So the knowledge of Philosophy and  Meta Physic then came in, to answer this question by saying that all the things that function in system of unison ,that is called nature, must be done by the Intelligent design of the sole creator. So to say ,the scientific standards is the norm that human used to solve all the problems of the empirical world, in compliance with the divine precepts , especially in compliance  with the teaching of Islam , the only religion of GOD, send down for all mankind of all generations , till the last hour comes. As GOD said, all lives originate from water.

    Sometimes I have to reserve judgment on things until I can learn more.  But science is neither infallible nor omniscient.  God knows more than all the scientists do.

    You cannot since science is the search for truth and reality and religion is opposed to both!!!!!!!!!

    After you witness your first genuine miracle, you tend to leave things like that, up to God.

    I can't think of a reason to other than seeing that Science doesn't make claims about God, not in any scientific matters. I also know that there are certain prophesies which are showing me some scientific findings. It helps to separate which science we are talking about, so that I can categorize a scientific claim from one another. I can get into plate tectonics and see that the earthquake in the Jordan Valley, for instance, is prophesied by Zechariah 14, is supported by the Jordan Valley Rift coming from the African Rift. Things belong in categories, not just ALL "SCIENCE" in some amorphous unsophisticated application. Also, some things claimed by the broad historic Christianity are merely traditions that do not hold up to science, I can get rid of those, like it is for a young earth. I know the Bible doesn't say how old the earth is, some bishop (Ussher), extrapolated that idea, and I find it's not supported by scripture. Science says it is much, much older, and I'm okay with that.

    So called "divine precepts"

    are just examples

    of someone-said-so.

    There is no evidence that anything divine

    is involved in any of them.

    So I have no motivation

    to reconcile them

    with anything else.

    One is a rigorous way of understanding the nature of things and the other is a bunch of childish nonsense.  They simply don't compare.
