If we have an understanding of how the world works outside the bible then we are to reconcile the what we under with scripture. Scripture being the unchanging foundation. If we do not have this understanding then we do not know how to 'read it accurately.' As with revelation, a full understanding is not required, just responsibility for what we understand.
"So even when scripture seems wrong, it's actually you that is wrong as scripture is always right...even when it's wrong, which it can't be as it's always right."
Sounds legit.
Ever put together a model as a kid? Ever put together a real complicated one? (Legos will work here as well)
What happens when the instructions seem to be telling to use parts you can not find, or do not see how it works in the final design? Are you sometimes right, and the instructions wrong? Or are the build instructions right even if you currently do to understand how everything works?
The people who write those instructions see beyond the sub assemblies you have identified as pointless to the final goal. Like wise the one who has inspired scripture can see beyond what most of us will ever understand about what is written, and yet wrote it all in there anyway.
To find that science or some other proof undergirds the bible outside of a bronze age man's possible comprehension is confirmation that the Bronze Age man who penned it was not responsible for content.
