I seldom use creationists sites but this link does offer Scientific Evidence to show the Bible is accurate and true. So the atheists can try to go through and falsify all 101 points or they can come up with evidence to falsify the Bible. For now the score is 101 to 0 and the ball is in the court of the atheists to offer evidence that the Bible is not 100% accurate and true. We know that God watches over His Word to Perform and to do what He says He is going to do. Jeremiah 1:12 We know that God's Word does not fail and that God always accomplishes His plan and purpose.
"God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" Num23:19
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper
in the thing whereto I sent it." Isa 55:11
55:11 So shall my
word be that goeth
forth out of my
mouth: it shall not
return unto me
void, but it shall
accomplish that which I
please, and it shall
prosper in the thing whereto I
sent it.
The BLUE words are the Hebrew words that we find in our Bible. So there are only 9 words in this verse in the Hebrew Bible. Nine is the
last of the digits, and thus marks the
end; and is significant of the
conclusion of a matter.

Let's look at numbers 1 and 7.
1. 'The earth free-floats in space (Job 26:7), affected only by gravity. While other sources declared the earth sat on the back of an elephant or turtle, or was held up by Atlas, the Bible alone states what we now know to be true - "He hangs the earth on nothing".
Later in the same chapter (verse 11), it speaks of 'the pillars of heaven'. In Job 37:18, Elihu asks, 'Can you beat out the vault of the skies, as he does, hard as a mirror of cast metal?', and in Job 38:6, God asks, 'On what do [the earth's] supporting pillars rest? Who set its corner-stone in place?' This is fine poetry, but it is not scientifically accurate.
It is more interesting that at the same time that the book of Job was written (6th century BC), Pythagorean and Babylonian speculations about the shape and location of the earth were developing that were very similar to the interpretation that your website puts on Job 26:7. According to Christine Garwood, in
Flat Earth: The History of an Infamous Idea (pages 18-20), Pythagoras (582-500 BC) and his followers 'believed that the earth was a globe freely floating in space because the sphere was the perfect shape.' Perhaps the author of Job picked up the same ideas as Pythagoras at about the same time.
7. There are mountains on the bottom of the ocean floor (Jonah 2:5-6). Only in the last century have we discovered that there are towering mountains and deep trenches in the depths of the sea.
The book of Jonah was written in the 5th or 4th centuries BC, around the time of the wars between the Persian and Greek empires. If you look at a map of the Aegean Sea, which lies between these two great empires, you will see that it is dotted with islands, some of which continue the lines of the mountain ranges on the mainland. Sailors long before Jonah's time knew about these islands, and about the dangerous reefs that only just broke the surface of the sea. It would not require much imagination for these seafarers to guess that besides these visible islands and reefs there were other submarine mountains that did not reach the surface of the sea.
The inhabitants of Greece and Asia Minor, which have very few extensive plains, may have found it difficult to imagine a landscape that was
not mountainous. It would be natural for them to think of the sea-floor as being as mountainous as the surrounding land masses, and as the islands that dotted the sea. Perhaps this is the source of Jonah's idea of submarine mountains.
There are more serious objections to this website, and to other websites of the same sort.
First, nobody ever deduced the scientific facts adduced by the website by reading the Bible. The spherical shape of the Earth, submarine mountains and springs, the vital importance of blood, the laws of thermodynamics, the existence of proteins and DNA,
etc. were discovered by scientists through observations and experiments, not from their reading of the Bible. It is only as a result of the work of these scientists that we understand what these Biblical verses really mean. (The same objection applies to the prophecies of Nostradamus; they can only be understood after the predicted events have actually happened.)
Second, why should God mention such scientific facts at all? The Bible always treats human learning and secular science as things to be avoided, as distractions from the main business of repenting one's sins and dedicating one's life to God.
Third, these 'scientific facts in the Bible' are put forward in isolation, without any context. The submarine mountains are not connected with earthquakes or volcanoes, or with the other phenomena of plate tectonics. The fact that blood is necessary to life is simply stated, without any explanation of why it is necessary. The first law of thermodynamics is put forward in isolation, without any explanation of its connection with the second and third laws, or with statistical mechanics and kinetic theory. These facts in isolation are not much more useful as science than a few thousand bricks, with water and gas pipes and electric wires, plugs
etc. scattered over a five-acre field would be as a place to live.
