1. Universe has constant laws of physics - “I have established the covenant of day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth” .
2. Universe is expanding - He created the heavens and stretched them out.” and ‘stretching out the heavens like a tent’ - the Hebrew verb form here indicates a continual or ongoing stretching.
3. Universe is decaying - In Romans 8 it’s state that the entire creation has been subjected to the law of decay.
4. Universe had a beginning - “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth”.
What sciences says:
1. Astronomers have look back into time within 200,000 years of the big bang event and have seen no change in the physical laws, and other sciences have not detected any changes.
2. Hubble discovered this shortly after General Relativity published.
3. 2’nd law of thermodynamics (entropy).
4. The Big Bang marks the instant at which the universe began, when space and time came into existence and all the matter in the cosmos started to expand.
Assume you're right. How do you get from "the bible got these four things right," all the way to "therefore, everything in it is correct"?
You are aware I can tell you four true things in a row, and that doesn't make my fifth statement automatically true, yes? Nor any of my subsequent or intervening statements?
In fact, if you can read an entire series of books and come out with only four true things... chances are you're reading particularly far out fiction, man.
