As a general rule, I don’t read the Bible. I have read Revelations. But feel free to send me all the parts relating to science found in the Bible.
The Age of the Universe

This list is by no means complete. There are a lot of verses in various parts of the Bible that make reference to different aspects of the natural world.
The health standards for the Israelites reflect an awareness of the proper hygiene that they could not have know, even though the cause wasn't specifically addressed.
And there's no way that anyone if even coming close to pretending that we can learn about all the science we need to know through the Bible. That is just disingenuous to portray the creationist position that way.
However, in the areas where science is addressed, it is accurate and displays a knowledge of the world that the ancients did not have a way of gathering. They could not have know some of the things that they were inspired to write because the knowledge and technology just wasn't there.
So, no, there's no periodic table in the Bible, which is a ridiculous contention by those who wish to discredit it. But there is plenty of other information.
You might also consider reading the last few chapters of the book of Job, from chapter 38 on to the end.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning.....
There was a beginning supported by the Big Bang Theory and Einstein’s equations and Hubble’s observations.
Gen 1:2 The earth was formless and void,...
Supported by the solar nebula theory and the proto earth.
Gen 1:20 ”Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures,
Scientists say that life arose in the seas.
Gen 1:24 ”Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind...
Gen 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground,
“Shaped from clay [origin of life]” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1515522/posts
Scientists have concluded that clay was necessary for the formation of life.
Eccles 1:6 Blowing toward the south, Then turning toward the north, The wind continues swirling along; And on its circular courses the wind returns.
Scripture describes the circulating system of winds.
Eccles 1:7 All the rivers flow into the sea, Yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, There they flow again.
The Bible also describes the water cycle.
Lev 17:10 - 12 `And any man from the house of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people. `For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.’ “Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, `No person among you may eat blood, nor may any alien who sojourns among you eat blood.’
Blood is necessary for life. The life is in the blood.
Isa 40:22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
Earth is round. Could also refer to the orbit of the earth as seen from space.
Job 9 5, 8 ”It is God who removes the mountains, they know not how, When He overturns them in His anger; 8.Who alone stretches out the heavens And tramples down the waves of the sea;
The expansion of the universe.
Col 1: 15- 17 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
All things are being held together; gravitation, strong and weak nuclear forces, magnetism.
The link to the * Age of the Universe* thread goes into quite some detail about scientific insight gained by people.
