The bible actually does touch on scientific views and it actually touches on them a fair few centuries before scientists openly proved them.
1 - 8th Century BCE = Earth is circular
2 - 3500 years ago, bible states that the earth is hanging on nothing
3 - 1593 BCE - Talks about sanitation whilst it took our guys until about the 19th century to work that out.
I could go on but that'll do ya
I am not saying I am religious here, just that it does touch on scientific stuff well before even the scientists had worked it out.
