The Bible is not a scientific textbook - it is the story of redemption. However, when it speaks of scientific facts, it is accurate.
Science defines the universe in 5 terms: time, space, power, matter, and motion. Look at Genesis 1:1-2: "In the beginning (TIME) God created (POWER) the heavens and the earth (MATTER)...and the Spirit of God moved (MOTION) upon the face of the waters."
The Bible also tells us that all we see is composed of that which we cannot see with the natural eye (atoms); that the universe is expanding; that the earth is round and floats freely in space; that the earth's rotation is the source of night and day; that the sun moves in its own circuit; the first and second laws of themodynamics; the sun and moon are "lights" to determine seasons, days and years; and that the ocean has currents.
All of these have been proven by science long after the Bible was written. The Bible was written before the Quran.

The Bible does not lay claim to be a science textbook, it is a religious book.
However, in the day to day happenings and conversations of people and , matters of science would naturally come up. When they do, they are told from the standpoint of a Hebrew living in those times, are extremely accurate.
The Water Cycle: (Written in 1000 B.C.E.)
All the winter torrents are going forth to the sea, yet the sea itself is not full. To the place where the winter torrents are going forth, there they are returning so as to go forth - Ecclesiastes 1:7
From the Hebrew Mind, what does the Earth Hang on? (Written in c. 1573 C.E.)
"He is stretching out the north over the empty place, Hanging the earth upon nothing;" - Job 26:7
Medicine:
The Mosaic Law contains requirements for hygiene far in advance of the medical knowledge of the time. Indeed, all male boys were to be circumcised on the 8th day after their birth. We now know that this is the day when the clotting factor is at the absolute highest in your body. Never again does it reach that level. Regulations regarding cleanliness and quarantine the likes of which were lost, and not fully appreciated for their scientific worth until the 20th century. Regulations for the quarantine of people suspected of having leprosy and the prohibition against touching dead people doubtless saved many Israelite lives. (Leviticus 13; Numbers 19:11-16) In sharp contrast, the medical practices of the Assyrians and the Egyptians (From whence the Hebrews were freed) are described as “a mixture of religion, divination, and demonology” and included treatments with dog dung and human urine
Are Miracles Unscientific?
“Scientifically minded people believe in a ‘cause-and-effect’ relationship. They feel there is a perfectly natural explanation for everything,” states a contemporary encyclopedia. Students of the Bible also accept established scientific principles. They recognize, however, that the Bible often discusses miraculous events that cannot be explained scientifically according to present knowledge. Examples are the sun standing still in Joshua’s day and Jesus’ walking on water. (Joshua 10:12, 13; Matthew 14:23-34) However, these miracles are presented as resulting from God’s power acting in a supernatural way.
This point is crucial. If the Bible asserted that people can walk on water without divine assistance or that the sun’s apparent motion across the sky can be interrupted for no reason, it might seem to contradict scientific facts. However, when it attributes such events to God’s power, it does not so much contradict science as lead the discussion into an area where science cannot yet follow.

sci·ence
Pronunciation: 'sI-&n(t)s
Function: noun
1 : the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding
2 a : a department of systematized knowledge as an object of study b : something (as a sport or technique) that may be studied or learned like systematized knowledge
3 a : knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method b : such knowledge or such a system of knowledge concerned with the physical world and its phenomena : NATURAL SCIENCE
4 : a system or method reconciling practical ends with scientific laws
By each definition: 1. Science is in the Bible 2. There are scientific studies being performed about Biblical epics. 3. For this definition, there is no science like this in the Bible. 4. Same as three.
So, yes there is science in the Bible. It's not necessarily what we first think of when we picture science, but its there. The Bible is not meant to be a book of science, it is a religious book.

There are some scientific facts in all religional scripture. But due to the very nature of it, it has to be taken on Faith.
If by Science, you mean something that has been demonstrated by rigourous proofs, then these scriptures do not contain Science. If you accept this definition, Faith and Science are opposite of each other.

Yes, 2000 year old useless science. Would you go to a doctor who practiced medicine as it was 2000 years ago? Why would anyone believe in the Gods worshiped by some historically obscure quasi-nomadic Semitic tribes whose technological sophistication stopped at the sheep-herding level?

i dunno about the bible, but the Qur'an definitely yes.
i'm not sure about the exact chapters, but the Qur'an has so much to say about science and the universe, things that modern day scientists have discovered only recently......
eg:
the Qur'an states ( and this was revealed centuries ago!!) that the world is round, that mountains are held down by pegs etc, which were all actually discovered and proven by man only so many years later.
