Bible verses cited as scientific foreknowledge
Earth floating free in space
Job 26:7 states that God "hangs the Earth on nothing." It also contrasts with ancient Hindu and Native American myths that the Earth hangs on a turtle.
Blood circulation
Leviticus 17:11 states, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood", [1] blood circulation was not discovered until 17th century by William Harvey. [2]

Uncountable stars
Jeremiah 33:22 says number of stars cannot be counted by a human, [8] scientific estimate puts that number of stars are 1022 to 1024 . [9] but it would take human billions of years to count all of them.
