You are still assuming that God _reveals_ history and science in Scripture.
If he accommodates his revelation to the science/history of the times, your
premise is false. Further, I see no biblical reason to believe that he
reveals science or history. Biblical historians refer to their sources as
human sources; while prophets refer to their source as direct revelation. I
think your basic premise is an autonomous extra-biblical belief; and I have
yet to see any evidence that any scientific statement in Scripture is in
advance of the science of the times.
