(This entry is “under construction” since I have other demands on my time right now) I encourage the question poster and other interested parties to consult the works of Dr. Hugh Ross of “Reasons to Believe” who is an excellent source of information of questions in this exact field.
http://www.reasons.org/

  1. Jesus in the New Testament makes a number of statements that can be used as encouraging the development of Epistemology and Empirical reason when considered literally and beyond their immediate spiritual context. Some examples: “The parable of the Foolish Man and Wise man building their houses” in Matthew 7:24-27(Things not built on truth will have unstable foundations and not last). Sayings about you will “know them” by their fruit in Matthew 7:16 (ministers and false ministers). This verse has been employed as encouraged a certain use of empirical evaluation of things based on “the results”.

  2. A point I will develop later fromonce again invite interested parties to watch some Hugh Ross lectures latet, but the Genesis accounton You-tube and other verses ofsocial media sites. Hugh Ross in the OT speak ofpast has lectured how Bible verses support such things as a Singularity Beginning (Space"The Space Time Theorem)Theorem", as well as other things like the"The Cosmic Expansion of the Universe etcUniverse", "Dark Energy" and many other Scientific laws and theories. Here is a short one and half minute video where Dr. Ross lays out the basic "Big Bang Cosmology" and mentions how on 4 or so basic points the Bible agrees with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BaW2zJ4a2c

  3. The Greek Term used for "Truth" (Aletheia) in the New Testament also is another thing that encourages scientific reasoning, observation and reality testing. If you consult both the Lexical Biblical meaning and the Greek Phisiophical definition that it was borrowed from besides relating moral truth, and Truth that comes from God via revelation, truth is actually defined as "reality", something "that is not hidden or concealed". This defintion, like the "Test Everything" passage quoted prior actually encourages a form of empirirism, concept validity and reality testing.

Aletheia (Ancient Greek: ἀλήθεια) is revolution or rising in philosophy. It was used in Ancient Greek philosophy and revived in the 20th century by Martin Heidegger. It is a Greek word variously translated as "unclosedness", "unconcealedness", "disclosure" or "truth". The literal meaning of the word ἀ–λήθεια is "the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident." It also means factuality or reality.[1] It is the opposite of lethe, which literally means "oblivion", "forgetfulness", or "concealment".[2]

Addendum the Greek Term used for "Truth"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aletheia

Definition: truth, but not merely truth as spoken; truth of idea, reality, sincerity, truth in the moral sphere, divine truth revealed to man, straightforwardness.

225 alḗtheia (Alethea) in the New Testament also is another thing that encourages scientific reasoning, observation and reality testing. If you consult both the Lexical Biblical meaning and the Greek Phisiophical definition that it was borrowed from besides relating moral truthfrom 227 /alēthḗs, and Truth that comes from God via revelation"true to fact") – properly, truth is actually defined as "reality", something "that is not hidden or concealed". This defintion, like the "Test Everything" passage quoted prior actually encourages a form of empirirism(true to fact), concept validity and reality testing.

[In ancient Greek culture, 225 (alḗtheia) was synonymous for "reality" as the opposite of illusion, i.e. fact.]
