Why do atheists claim the Bible is not scientifically accurate?

How can atheists claim the Bible is not scientifically accurate when Mark 6:52 clearly extols the virtues of whole-grain breads in fighting high cholesterol?

Mark 6:52 (King James Version): For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

Checkmate, atheists!

    Where does it mention whole grain bread combating high cholesterol? We claim that it is not scientific because, it was written by men who didn't know science or the scientific process. In fact they would kill anyone who asked a question and tried to find an answer to it other than "god did it". All they see is a harden heart and they considered it to be because of the bread, there was no scientific process here, there for it is not science.

    Yes, but Bible is also remarkably off the mark when it comes to quantum electrodynamics. Get it--off the mark. Mark 6:52, off the mark...you see, what I was trying to contrast there was the difference between...oh, never mind.

    The book of Isaiah also says that the moon produces it's own light. We know this to be wrong.

    I, as an Atheist, am not saying everything is scientifically inaccurate in the Bible, but not everything's correct either.

    They think science is right and can Solve any type of question when they don't have faith. They say Jesus didn't exist when there's evidence he did exist.
