Scripture vs Science?

First of all, science means knowledge. There are plenty of knowledges beyond that of the material universe—like the laws of logic, or the laws of love.

Second of all, check out this quote from Saint Augustine:

We do not read in the Gospel that the Lord said: “I will send to you a Paraclete who will teach you about the course of the sun and the moon!” For he wanted to make Christians, not mathematicians.

Heat. The Scriptures and the sciences serve different purposes.

We do not expect God’s written word to teach us how to add, subtract, read, write, run, swim, chart the stars, or crack jokes. The book of nature offers courses of study in all these fields and more. We expect one thing of the Bible, that which is the greatest knowledge of all: how to walk with God.
