The Bible is not a science text. The less that a scientist relies on the Bible for their work, the better.

Other than archeology, I don't think any science has ever used the text of the bible as a source of scientific information. Well, I suppose Flood geologists do, but that's a classic dead end.

"The Bible is not a science text."

I believe that to be an absolute fact. Human science is utterly irrelevant to the purpose of the Bible.

"The less that a scientist relies on the Bible for their work, the better."

I would in general say that use of the Bible for physical research is without basis, except for one possible exception: The (successful) use of Biblical geographic information to locate the oil deposits in northern Israel, and even in this case, the information was in no way technological.
