Refuting bible passages with "science, fact and logic" is hardly difficult. You might as well refute passages from Harry Potter with the same.
However, as a matter of historical record there are items in the bible that could be linked to actual events.
The ark for example. I note that you refute it by saying that there could not be enough water in the world or a wooden boat big enough.
But you have to remember that back when the old testament was written the size of the world wasn't known and the great flood was probably a local event. It's pretty much accepted that the flood centered around the black sea and the Bosporus

Also how the parting of the Red Sea could be attributed to the massive volcanic eruption on Santorini

Santorini also being the accepted home of the Atlantis legend.
If you want to use science and logic then don't dismiss or belittle, but believe that many of the events in the bible probably happened, inexplicable in their day they have been attributed to a higher power and embelished over the millienia.
