Why do Atheists value the Bible more than Christians value science?
:yes:

Opened minds to accept all new information and weigh the evidence unbiased, is my guess.
science is as positive to humanity as it gets.
the bible has more positive aspects to humanity then negative so its also a positive.
One doesnt have to believe in a mythical god or jesus to see that.

I would not under estimate science, its what will save you when your sick or hurt.
Life is for the living, you get one shot. enjoy what you can while your here.

I refuse to answer this without elaboration from the OP. This seems like an attempt to exercise the human ability to make **** up to justify things. It could have said "Why do agnostics value the wallaby more than theists value the grapefruit?" and still have people debating for days over its meaning.
Kind of like scripture, actually.

An atheist can sell a Bible for money. A Christian can't sell science.

It becomes increasingly frustrating when you are wolf, not a fox, but they insist on treating you like a fox anyway.

I value the bible because without it my table would be all wobbly.

Agreed.
And when worn in a vest pocket, it's good for stopping bullets.
A Bible printed on Kevlar would be even better....& it would combine religion & science.
I still need convincing that this is the case, before speculating as to why it is the case.
Do you think that atheists overvalue the Bible? Or do you think Christians undervalue science? I am not sure either is true.

My guess would be that the Bible is both pretty easy to debate and is the main religious book in the areas where most of the forum's atheists live. If you're opposed to Christianity or consider Abrahamic faiths to have done more harm than good (which seems to be a common feeling, but by no means applicable to everybody ), there are a lot of resources providing arguments against Abrahamic doctrine. It's not any where near as easy to do this with Buddhism, Wicca,Taoism etc.
Furthermore, I think a lot of people on the forum (atheist or not) have grown up in cultures where "religion" is more or less equated with Abrahamic faiths. A lot of people have trouble getting out of this mentality or otherwise consider the Abrahamic faiths to be the only religions really worth debating.

I think your question isn't pretty good formulated, anyway I don't think atheist value the biblie at all because they see that book with the same eyes that they see Harry Potter. In fact, what some atheist could do would be not value but undervalue the bible.
However, what I'm sure is that christians DO value science and, in some cases, even above God. A little example of this is that there is much more christians that trust medicine to solve their medical problems than those who trust in God to help them (few will remain ill in their houses expecting HIM to help them instead of going to the hospital and take some medicines).
