Should we ignore medical knowledge & take a stand based on views held many (thousands) of years ago down to the present? What does the ongoing analysis of DNA tell us about different conditions? Should we ignore this information? There are examples of the clash between science & religion in the past. In the long run it has been science that has come out on top.
It is my view that God created everything. God started with the Big Bang. All the possibilities were wrapped up in the initial moment. Our sun, a yellow dwarf, is not a fist generation star. For all that is known about the universe we, in fact, have barely scratched the surface.
It is interesting to follow archeology, especially human evolution. God's "hand" may be directing but I doubt God has "spelled out" any of it to anyone.
I consider it dangerous to take stories in the Bible & say "this is the word of God." Why? The first several chapters of Genesis are based on Babylonian and other non-Hebraic creation stories that go back more than 4000 years! All of Genesis and some of Exodus are based on oral tradition finally being put on the then current material made to be written on. Many of the later books are historical.
We of the English speaking world depend on English translations of the ancient Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic original. Oh, yes, that's right: those "originals" are copies of copies of... Nevertheless, I suspect there was not that much lost once written. On the other hand, I am certain that the folkways and mores, cultural and social norms of the day were reinforced. Additionally, just how well does the translation reflect the original human author's thoughts, ideas and understanding. This is not to deny the effort to come up with better, more accurate, translations.
I'll stop there for now.
Best
