Do you mean you are thinking of forming an hypothesis, gathering quantitative data, and testing it somehow? I have to say that seems like an odd approach to studying The Bible. Or do you simply mean forming questions and then looking for the answers in the Bible? I suppose that would be what the "scientific method" really is about, to state it simply. Well, a scientific approach also should keep personal bias and subjective observations out of the equation, so to speak. That would actually be very beneficial in studying the Bible, I think. You wouldn't go into it with a preconceived intent to discredit it, as it seems some scientifically-inclined individuals have done.

Something I would like to point out about the Bible is that it was obviously not written to be a science textbook. It was written to be understood by people from all levels of learning, from all cultures, all types of people. To me, that is part of its genius.

However, when it does touch on scientific matters it is actually quite factual, matching up with proven science.
