The best way to reconcile scientific theories, the highest level an explanation can attain, with the bible is to take into context the knowledge available to those who wrote the bible. Or, more simply, its metaphorical.

I have felt this to be true through out the bible, that it was attempting to handle and explain some very heavy philosophical and/or scientific theories but had to be written/passed orally in a fashion that the people of the times could understand. For an easy example revelations, some of the beast sound very much like war machines that we could identify easily but through the eyes of a person with no knowledge of such devices.
