Those who haven't been able to disprove the scriptures (and let me tell you, MANY have tried)

First of all, when scientists try to make some sense of the Cambrian explosion, they never take the scriptures into account. I'm not exactly clear why we're discussing them, but since you've brought it up (yes, I'm aware it was probably your sparring partner, but let's move past that) but when you say that no one's been able to disprove scriptures, I thought I'd jump in.

"Disproving" scripture would serve no purpose at all. No one is out to disprove Buddhist texts, Pueblo cliff paintings, or the Upanishads either. For those of us who find them all to be nothing more than mere stories and poems by mortal men, we have no problem with them. In other words, who cares? But I must say that, well, changing the chemical properties of water, breaking every known law of physics, logic, and thermodynamics in order to feed a bunch of hungry people, or to cross the Red Sea, and enjoying a final repast a few days after you've been killed are enough for me to be a bit skeptical as to their accuracy.

Your examples are interesting but they aren't real world... none of these other faiths are as attacked as Christianity these days. There are many examples of these whack job, pseudo-science studies "proving" creation is nothing but cosmic luck and there is no God. First comes the study, then the conclusion from a metaphysical standpoint.

I read in Discover that someone said that water is not H2O but H 1.5 O (If someone can PRLY on how to sub/super script - most kind)
