In the Lutheran Option posted by Dr. Swamidass, there are list of presumptions for each viewpoint. It is important to note that two that you mentioned provide a radical break from the other ancient near eastern religions and polytheism in general:
- God is only good
- God is the source of creation and not subject to external governance, only His Word and the covenants He has established. There is no “magic” by which He can be controlled or influenced. Blessing and fellowship with God come from faith and obedience to His commandments.
Any discussion of science must be done in the context of the scientific method. Scientific content is based on that which is published in peer review journals.
Any Biblical discussion must be placed in the context of the entire Bible (66 books), no verse may be lifted out independently and taken out of context. The original text is the Word of God, translations and interpretations are not inerrant. Chapter, verse and even book designation are relative arbitrary (for example, the last chapter or Deuteronomy could easily be the first chapter of Joshua).
These are the rules I use for studying the Bible and Science.
