Are those specific, really? Most of them are terribly general, unconfirmable at the time they were written, or merely common sense. Like this "both man and woman possess the seed of life," thing: do you really think nobody would have noticed that babies happen after sex? Some of them are even just plain wrong: the passage in Isaiah that is played off as calling the earth round actually calls the earth a circle. Circles are two dimensional, and the earth is not.
To be honest, most of these "predictions" are just retrofitting of knowledge found much later into vague passages written to be vague. Where they aren't just generally wrong. Put it this way: without already knowing the information of these supposed predictions ahead of time, would you ever have interpreted those passages to mean that?
You wouldn't, and that's why all the people who read the bible before science discovered these things didn't operate using the knowledge of these predictions.
