General problems
A few generic faults plague effectively all "scientific foreknowledge" in sacred texts:
 * Scientific knowledge necessarily must detail every process as accurately and precisely as possible, propose an explanation for the results that makes falsifiable predictions and reproducible tests, refine the explanation, and make all information public to allow others to repeat the cycle. It is not scientific merely to make vague assertions, such as, "the body is made of the same things as the earth," or "rain falls and waters our crops".
 * Very few religious texts actually aim to provide detailed, scientific knowledge about the world. The vast majority of statements from the, and most other religious texts, are religious messages to followers, moral rules, or statements aimed at converting heathens.
 * Even if some of the claimed "scientific foreknowledge" is true, there are a vastly greater number of statements in the with no basis whatsoever in scientific fact. Even if every one of the claims below were correct (which they manifestly are not), they would still be vastly outnumbered by the scientific absurdities.
 * It's also interesting that scientific discoveries are very rarely "predicted" by the until after science has made the discovery. One would imagine that a book so full of scientific foreknowledge would be used to predict future scientific discoveries, especially those that require highly complex technology far beyond the one available to its writers, while it appears that the  can only vaguely predict currently existing science.
