I know for a fact that the work of fiction known as the bible does not accurately predict anything, the same as it never accurately described anything about the earth or how anything works.
Ignorant people wrote about that which they knew nothing, pure and simple. Adding a super magical sky daddy to the equation does not make it believable. It merely makes the believers gullible.
"God asked Job “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the belt of Orion?” (Job 38:31). In the last century astrophysicists have discovered that the stars of Pleiades move in unison with each other, and are thus gravitationally bound. They have also discovered that the stars in the belt of Orion are free agents that are not gravitationally bound!6 Interestingly, the three stars that comprise Orion's belt appear to be closer together than the outer stars in the constellation, but are actually farther apart! (they appear closer together because of the 2-D plane we see them in)." http://www.bibleevidences.com/scientif.htm
