It is not a science book.

"The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go."
- Galileo Galilei
The Bible also assumes there is a heaven to go to and that there is a way to go to it, the ways to do so aren't very logically sound, nor rational, probable. My take on it.

Actually, Cardinal Caesar Baronius, whom Galileo is said to have quoted.
"La Bibbia ci insegna la via per andare in cielo, non come il cielo sia fatto."

More to the point why does the Bible not ever relate information and facts which no contemporaries would know EG "knoweth thou verily that light is both given unto ye a wave and a particle, and, more that I have made for ye all an expanding universe where much matter will be unobserved " The Bible is fully aware of some basic science around matter of health and food hygiene, witness some of the rules and commandments which litter the OT, many of which would make sense in context.
But when the Bible does get close to specific science procedure it is liable to get things very wrong, EG the version of genetics in Genesis 30:37-40

The Bible's knowledge of science was in relation to the knowledge of science at the time.
No skeptic has ever been able to explain why it was Scripture's responsibility to become a science book in the first place except that it annoys them that it isn't.

Because it was the insistence of believers that the bible was sufficient in terms of knowledge worth knowing (the doctrine was called "the Sufficiency of Scripture"), and that anything which appeared to contradict what the bible taught was of the devil.

It's what still drives opposition to science today.
It might appear that way on some papers you have somewhere. Popular notions of science dominate "today" though. Popular notions of religion dominate "today." Most popular notions, whether about science or religion, are wrong because most people do not think anything through and merely copy each others' wrong ideas.
I blame television and the internet. Too many people depend too much on it. I'm amazed at how some people pay more for television than they do for college. That's ridiculous.
It's sad how many people go on the internet to share their ideas and only have nonsense at the end of the day. What do you think of marriage? What do you think of space travel? It doesn't matter what most people think. Their heads are full of nonsense. They're just wasting time.

It does when they come to vote, based on 'alternative facts'.
