Before we can begin to answer this question, we have to ask a few more questions. Does the Bible claim to provide scientific answers? What is the Bible interested in teaching? Was it the intent of the biblical authors to offer proof for how the world was created, like a scientist offers proof for a theory?

For the Bible to make a statement that is scientifically absurd, it would have to say something like, "the moon is made of cheese," or "the earth is flat."

Now, the first statement is something out of fairy tales, so there's no argument that it's an absurd statement. But the second statement has only been considered absurd (that is, illogical or foolish) since it was proven scientifically that the world is in fact round. Before that people believed just the opposite.
