As to your conclusion that Catholics and Muslims deem the Bible to be scientifically inaccurate; how about asking these same priests about the scientific accuracy in Islam, such as the sun orbiting the earth:
The Prophet asked me at sunset, "Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "It goes (i.e. travels) till it prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then (a time will come when) it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west.
And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah: ‘And the sun Runs its fixed course for a term (decreed). That is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in Might, The All-Knowing.’" (36.38)
“Seest thou not that God merges night into day and merges day into night; that He has subjected the sun and the moon (to his law), each running its course for a term appointed; and that God is well acquainted with all that ye do? (Sura 31: 29)”
“(God is) the one Who created the night, the day, the sun and the moon. Each one is travelling in an orbit with its own motion” (Sura 21: 33).
“The sun most not catch up the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. Each one is travelling in an orbit with its own motion”. (Sura 36: 40)
I would have expected the an all-knowing God to know better, or what?
