This claim is surprisingly similar to claims made by Muslims about the Qur'an. It should be viewed with suspicion by thinking people. Thinking people look to scripture for answers to questions of morality and purpose. Thinking people look to science books for answer to questions about biology, astronomy, and geology. Thinking people do not look to scientific texts for spiritual advice, and neither do they look to scripture for scientific facts.
"Thinking people do not look to scientific texts for spiritual advice, and neither do they look to scripture for scientific facts."
I've met lots of "thinking people" who have developed their moral and (so called) spiritual facts based on scientific exploration while decrying scripture as a hoax.
