I believe it boils down to one point. The Creator has the ultimate authority regarding his creation.
I remember an anecdote from a science fiction book I read as a kid (I don't remember which one) where scientists in Area 51 were analyzing a piece of alien technology for years assuming that it represented some kind of new and unheard of technology, trying to figure out what it was and maybe reverse engineer it. At one point an alien happens on the scene and starts laughing while explaining to his human friend that the apparatus is actually a toilet from an alien spaceship.
Now imagine that one of the scientists working there would say What do you mean? I've been studying this thing for years and I came up with these amazing theories as to the true purpose of this thing. Everyone would laugh at him. Here you have the alien who made this thing, he has the blueprint and he's TELLING you what it is.
If you take for a given (and for the purpose of this thread I will) that the Torah is misinai and given to us by the creator, then what room is there for debate once the creator TOLD US how he created the world? I have nothing against the scientists. They are doing their jobs the best they can under the data that they have and the assumptions that are guiding them (as they should) but science and Torah operate on 2 fundamentally different planes and one can not contradict the other...
