Of course, many mistakes have been made in the development of science. Its technologies have been used for evil purposes, and its theories have been wrongly used to justify blind philosophical leaps into atheism. But we can learn from science, for all truth is God's truth. Psalm 19, for example, indicates that there are two forms of God's revelation: the 'book' of nature is God's general revelation; the book of the Bible is God's special revelation. General revelation does not save anybody. Special revelation is God's specific words about His character and dealings with humanity; His plan of salvation culminating in Jesus. This you cannot discover by looking at a sunset or into a test-tube.

the danger with science then is treating it as absolute truth. i suspect as imperfect beings we can only know things about ourselves and surroundings quite crudely.
on the other hand, although the Bible is the absolute truth -
it is also dangerous to the extent that it can be misused by evil men to in order to justify wickedness eg. the crusades, witch hunts, violent cults
anyone who is in the field of science will know that nothing we learn or find out is ever absolute. there are always exceptions to the rule.
as for the second statement, yes I have to agree. Satan and wickedness have a habit of twisting words around to make something sound right and yet is fundamentally wrong e.g. Jesus in the desert.
