A link to a fictional story written by someone who likely has a personal agenda is not a legitimate souce.

the truth of the Bible is certainly supported to a far greater degree than any other ancient text, by archeology and by bothe sacred and secular historians. It was also written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit over many hundreds of years by many authors; and is both internally and externally consistent in all that is contained therein.

Name another such work that even remotely approaches the reliability of the Bible. The only on I can think of that any group mentions is the LDS and the Book of Mormon, which was allegedly translated by one man and was so poorly written that over 3000 substantive changes have been made ove the last one and one-haf centuries.

I know of no one who holds up the Bible as a science book, but there is nothing in science that is inconsistent with the Bible.

In adition, not all 'science books' contain good science.

No, not as a 'science' book, a fact book. Science is sometimes right, but also often wrong, and is constantly changing. The Bible is always right, and will never change. The difference between the two seems to evade your limited cognition.
