So, the Universe that God made is full of lies?
​
Is there nothing true about God in the Earth that he made?

I've said this before but I guess I can say it again. Nobody can "read" the universe, or the Earth, or anything in the phenomenal world, with perfect accuracy no matter how true it is in itself.

But you didn't answer the question.

Like Ned said, we are not talking about perfect knowledge, we are talking about ANY knowledge, or perhaps GOOD ENOUGH or USEFUL knowledge.
​
What would be a good way to tell if we understood some natural phenomena correctly without referencing the Bible?
