Some make the mistake of thinking of God's Word as being only about religion, and not to be weighed against scientific knowledge. Thinking that has nothing to do with the truth though.
If God's Word is The Truth, then It will include subjects that account for even scientific truth in this world, and it does have examples of doing exactly that:
1. Job 26:77 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
KJV
Early man thought just about everything and anything was holding up this earth (even false gods like Atlas). Even when God's Word revealed the earth suspended in space (because of God's laws of gravity we now know), man was ignorant of that scientific fact until centuries after this was written in Job 26.
2. Lev 15:13
13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
KJV
Doctors in mid-evil times kept noticing how their patients in the same ward kept developing the same diseases. Even though God commanded Israel long ago to wash under "running water" for cleanliness, those mid-evil doctors were instead washing their hands in the same bowl of dirty water, thus passing the diseases in the ward from patient to patient. Did someone eventually remind them to use running water from this Leviticus 15 example? What do you think?
3. Deut 23:12-13
12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
KJV
Up until WWI, there were many soldiers that died of various diseases because of uncleanliness within the camp, not isolating their waste with the use of latrines nor burying it. With old Israel's military camp, God told them to pick a place outside the camp where they would use the bathroom and isolate human waste outside the camp and bury it for health reasons. It took up to the time of WWI for people to figure that out. Do you think someone showed them that from God's Word?
4. Heb 1:10-12
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
KJV
Per also Genesis 1:1, the universe had a beginning per God's Word. Modern science has confirmed this using Einstein's studies in the early 1900's. Science has thus proven God's Word correct on that.
5. Isa 40:22
22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
KJV
In mid-evil times, even the Church leaders thought the earth was flat. Copernicus's theories of the earth being a sphere revolving around the sun was held as a heretical view, and those pushing it were severely punished. Yet there it was all the time in God's Word, with "the circle of the earth" (Hebrew chuwg, which means compass or circle), showing the earth being a sphere and not flat.
6. Eccl 1:66 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
KJV
Prior to WWII, man thought the wind blew straight. During WWII, airmen learned about the existence of the Jet Stream and its paths, confirming this passage by Solomon in Eccl.1:6.
7. Lev 23:22
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
KJV
With farming, it's wise to not cut the borders ("corners") of your crop fields, since it will cut down on soil erosion by the wind. Today, billions of tons of soil is lost from U.S. fields because they still haven't learned this from God's Word.
These are just a few of the things in God's Word which involve science. Afterall, God's Word is The Truth and not just a Book on religion or poetry.
