If you do not believe the bible is true, then you don't believe it was divinely inspired, therefore any scientific accuracies would be merely coincidental.
When you throw out as many claims as the bible does, you are bound to get one right. So, what is important is the ratio of accuracies to inaccuracies, not that there are any accuracies at all.
I think it would be interesting to see if the bible got something right by chance. Coincidences are fun.
