The Hebrew Bible (and Christian Bible, too) does not speak to scientific issues. To which you replied:
These writings shed light on acts of God, without which science cannot exist, let alone an orderly universe complete with human intelligence to observe and communicate about it.
Be this as it may, the language of the bronze age Hebrews is not sufficiently technical for modern scientific purposes. The Hebrew scriptures in question do not contain detail about how the Creator implemented creation. Instead, they are mostly concerned with morality, consciousness, and the human soul -- things science is ill equipped to deal with.

Kinda like THESE descriptions of future war machines!
NIV Revelation 9:7-10
7. The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.
8. Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth.
9. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.
10. They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.
NIV Revelation 9:17-19
17. The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur.
18. A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.
19. The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
