Being ancient books of theology, none are scientifically accurate nor should be viewed or used as such.
That all comes down to personal opinion, and what you personally find more valuable.
Historically speaking scholars tend to look at the earliest source as being the most credible which is Paul. But since Paul was not witness and was focused on theology, he tends to be a reflection of the movement far removed from Jesus. That leaves us with Mark who was not writing history the way we understand history today, so it Is not a credible historical document as written. It is not devoid of history, but that is why those who are highly educated are the ones determining what is and what is not historical under extensive criticism.
The Tao Te Ching, hands down.

The Lord of the Rings. It counts as a holy book right?

In another 2,000 years it will.
In my opinion,
Tirukkural.
Upanishads.
King James Bible (some of the finest Early Modern English poetry).
The Torah.
Uh.... none of them. They're all equally pretty bad at that.
Beyond that, it really just depends on what mood I'm in.

Silmarillion, more like. Ainulindale = best creation myth EVER!
But can we really beat giants being born out of someone's armpits and feet?
World being created from music. As a person who loves music, and who's personal creation myth conceived during Junior High School was a Mother Goddess singing the theme song to Land Before Time...
Ainulindale has Voluspa beat by a long shot, IMO.

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”
“Think and wonder, wonder and think.”
Anything comparable in your holy book?

Have any examples?

They are not science books, and were never meant to read that way, or even compared to it.
Scientific knowledge is about what is known from the natural world by observation and reporting on those observations.
The bible is not even accurate historically speaking in many places, let alone a credible study of nature.
Only thing I can suggest is that each case what you may think is accurate very well maybe, but I would research credible sources to determine that.

The problem with this is you're viewing it from a science book perspective, which is not the way to look at this situation!

How are we supposed to look at it?
