I’m with you that metaxas has several fatal errors in his theology. Science itself is dependent on human reason, which is fallible. It’s absurd and foolish to think we would know better than God, Who operates beyond our understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6; Isaiah 55:8-9). We should pursue science as a means to give God glory by exercising our God-given intellect and exploring His marvelous creation. It is wicked (and ignorant) to pursue science to push the Creator out of His creation.
