What you need to do is to find some scientific discovery that was due to something found in the Bible. I doubt if you can do that.
PATHS OF THE SEAS
Matthew Fontaine Maury is known as the Pathfinder of the Seas, for his role in developing wind and charts on 1847, the predecessor of today's NGA's Pilot Chart Atlas.
Psalm 8 was the most known verse that gave him inspiration.
Psalm 8
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
He was nicknamed "Pathfinder of the Seas" and "Father of Modern Oceanography and Naval Meteorology" and later, "Scientist of the Seas," due to the publication of his extensive works in his books, especially The Physical Geography of the Sea (1855), the first extensive and comprehensive book on oceanography to be published.

Matthew Fontaine Maury wrote in his book Physical Geography of the Sea, 1855:
“I have always found in my scientific studies, that, when I could get the Bible to say anything on the subject it afforded me a firm platform to stand upon, and a round in the ladder by which I could safely ascend.
As our knowledge of nature and her laws has increased, so has our knowledge of many passages of the Bible improved.
The Bible called the earth ‘the round world,’ yet for ages it was the most damnable heresy for Christian men to say that the world is round; and, finally, sailors circumnavigated the globe, and proved the Bible to be right, and saved Christian men of science from the stake.
And as for the general system of circulation which I have been so long endeavoring to describe,
the Bible tells it all in a single sentence:
‘The wind goeth toward the South and returneth again to his circuits.'” (Eccles 1:6)
