The guy making the claims about science proving the bible "right", needs to prove his assertions.
Once he starts trying to do that, you've got him.
Use your tools.

Not worth trying to debate, you can't change their mind when they're in such a bubble.

Ask him for proof.

You have to ask for citations. They never have them.

Well you can always quit beating your head against a brick wall and just let them think whatever they want

Ask for examples of the items "proven true" in the Bible... the only significant ones are events, the existence of people/places isn't relevant.

Once you have the list, cross reference the items to a Biblical contradictions list.

Odds are, every item is one the Bible contradicts itself on...

I don't attempt to school people who don't want to learn anything. It's okay to let them be as they are.

You can ask someone like this to provide specific examples where "science" has "proven" the Bible, and they will just spout apologist bullshit -- for example, where some technologist (not scientist) in an unrelated field like mechanical engineering had some theory about how the Flood could have come up with all that water. These people don't understand what science is and isn't and what it says and doesn't say and how it works to begin with.

Sometimes if you just slip out the back door they can learn to be ignorant without you

Zeitgeist was a bit wooey for me . What has science proven ? Walking on water ? Unicorns? Being raised from teh dead ? Talking animals ? Giant donkey testicles ?

Ask for examples. I can't think of one off the top of my head though

If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people.

The Bible is history in the sense that events such as floods, wars, migrations and others probably happened in the general areas and times of the Middle East. Much of what can be found in the modern Bible are events described in tablets from Babylonian times, which were scribed from verbal legends passed down through generations of storytelling. Does that make the Bible a verbatim history of the world? Not by any stretch of the imagination, any more than Native American or Australian Aboriginal legends and wall drawings are accurate depictions of world history for anything more than the small area of territory in which they were told.

Well, it’s certainly not the picture I have. You could mention the age of the Earth, which is about 4 billion years, as scientifically proven fact. How does the bible agree with that? Which it doesn’t.

The idea that science has proven any god is of course laughable but people make extreme false claims like that all the time. Our president will make both sides of the same claim even when both are wrong with such conviction it is mind boggling. It's not new to make wild unsubstantiated claims but the current times seem full of them.

The important part is that they need to list some specific science. All of the claims I have heard are based on bible claims. If parts of the bible are confirmed, like king Solomon, then that gives credence to the bible. Of course, that doesn't mean that there is a god only that there are historical followers. No one disputes that.

Ironchariots.org , skeptics annotated bible, Aron Ra YouTube channel for science and evolution, Paulogia YouTube channel for evidence against creationism. Rationality Rules, Cosmic skeptic, Matt Dillahunty, Dan Dennett, Sam Harris "Waking up podcast" AntiCitizenX,for philosophy, Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers for Biology, Sean Carroll for physics.. I can go on.. Essence of thought for Secular humanist values, Godless Engineer, Godless Cranium, Viced Rhino for pretty much everything.. Historicity of the bible.. Bart D Ehrman, Robert Price, Sean Carroll.. and Street epistemology.. Anthony Magnabosco, Cordial Curiosity etc..
I agree with Matt Dillahunty's assessment of the movie Zeitgeist..

Is he providing specific, peer reviewed examples?

Yeah right science does what it does and at the end there are papers or disappointment

Best advice is don't. Once a bible thumper forever a bible thumper.

First, don't take his word for scientific proof. Its BS. Ask him for links, independent scientific proof, not religious backed studies. Then read what he sends you.

The Genesis story contrasts sharply with what science says about how the Earth, sun, and moon were formed. Likewise the origin of species. The science is summarised nicely in a film series titled "Origins." I believe Niel De Gras Tyson narrated it. Also there is the Tyson remake of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos." And of course there is the original, with Sagan himself. And there are innumerable books on the subject. Any good high school or college general biology textbook will have three or four chapters dedicated to Darwinian evolution, as well as numerous references to evolution sprinkled throughout the rest of the chapters. (Darwin's theory pops up so often because it essentially explains and unifies the whole science.) It should be fairly easy for you to refute the assertion that science "proves the Bible right."

Burden of proof is on him.

Yup, Burning Bushes in local museums for all to see. Dead bodies rising up left & right! All the animals on an Ark for 40 days, when the waters recede, no stench/disease from rotting whatsoever! ETC.

They have found ancient sites that confirm a lot of history , in the Bible . Think in terms of a fictional story written around events that actually took place

I have exactly the opposite stance. Science has been able to give possible explanations of the 10 scourges or however those events were labeled. The deaths of the eldest sons were likely because of rats contaminating stored grains. The eldest son got double portions so he died first. The parting of the red sea has been shown to be a naturally occurring event due to cross winds exposing shallowly inundated land. The only PROOF of a god will come in the form of "God" showing up to tell everyone he exists and stop killing each other.

And I claim the Iron Throne...... same thing
