"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.

Wrong. The Bible is a box of random Lego parts with no instructions. That's the actuality here.
I made a wizard castle out of my Bible Legos. What did you do with yours, Drich?

Wrong... strainers created on 3rd day.
Sun and spaghetti sauce created on the 4th day.

And keep your fingers crossed that should the instruction booklet be found your clunky little design still takes the cake. But hey, ignorance is bliss, right?

As Dan Dennett might say, cranes work better than skyhooks.

Oh no! My religious conviction depended entirely on the notion that the planet Earth is the same age as the whole universe. Oh the humanity!

That's the least of your worries for any convictions you may have about religion.
