"That an archaelogical hypothesis turned out false isn't the same as saying 99.5% of all scientific ideas are rejected for Biblical solutions."

Either you are playing here, or you have reading comprehension problems. The Bible is not intended to be a science text. God had things to convey to us that are of eternal importance, and that is the purpose of the word. The Bible is not wrong about anything, but often people go off on their own tangents and twist the message.

The "four corners" of the earth are not points on the ground; they are points of control occupied by four powerful angels. You can learn more about this in the epistles of Enoch, but it requires considerable reading to gather it all together. Rabbits don't chew a cud, but the animal that the Bible was talking about does; it's an animal much like the wildebeast.

To repeat, there are no errors in the Bible, scientific, or otherwise. Men who read the Bible constantly attempt to make it into something other than what it is. Science is irrelevant in the spiritual context because it is a feeble effort by men to explain things that are beyond human comprehension, and it is also irrelevant because it pertains to the space-time universe, which is set to be destroyed when it has served it's purpose. Why would God worry about something that he intends to discard?

Do you honestly believe that God is incapable of stopping the motion of the planets at will?

That depends entirely on what you mean by stopping. If you mean stopping the planets in a way that has no physical consequences, then you have a variant of Last Thursdayism. God can doe anything without leaving a trace.

If you mean stopping the planets in a way consistent with physical laws, without causing noticeable trouble for the inhabitants of earth, you are saying something entirely different.

If you play by the rules of evidence, then certain major miracles have not left any evidence. This does not mean they didn't happen. It just means they didn't leave evidence.

If you want your faith based entirely on evidence then you have a problem.
