For instance the Kingdom of Edom is mentioned throughout the Old Testament. Most scholars believed that Edom did not come into existence until around the 8th Century BC. The Bible claims that David conquered the Edomites and placed a garrison in in Edom (2 Samuel 8:14). Well scholars believe that if David truly existed it was during the period of 1010 - 970 BC. Since Edom did not exist until the 8th Century BC, the Bible must be wrong. Score one for science.

Problem. A team of archeologists led by Russell Adams recently excavated a site in Edom (Jordan today) that dates to a mining operation from the 11th Century, and further found that a protective fortress was built around it dating to the 10th Century. There dating came from using radiocarbon methods. So it would seem that the historians and scientists were initially wrong, the Bible was correct in its assertion that Edom existed during the time of David. Opps, so much for science.

Recently discoveries in Egypt have added to the proof of the accuracy of the Bible. Proof of the existence of Dibon and Hebron only further add to the historical accuracy of the Bible.

Consider the fact that the New Testament is roughly 2000 years old, and the Old Testament is around 3500 years old, the accuracy in science and medicine is astonishing.

For far too long science has used the absence of evidence as evidence of absence in disproving the Bible. So by this standard then one must question, if there is an absence of evidence in the fossil record concerning evolution, then there is evidence that evolution is absent. But science does not do that, instead they hold the Bible to one Standard and their theories to a lesser.
