Gidean tested a deity using a simple experiment, and found that the
deity did indeed exist. You could also say that Gideon, using his
"science" could predict a future event.
One big difference between science and the Bible however, is that
the Bible doesn't give out hypothesis'. In reading it you can see
over and over how God says something.. and it happens. Best example
is Jesus saying beforehand that he would rise from the dead in 3
days.

Judges 6:36-37 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel
by mine hand, as thou hast said, Behold, I will put a fleece of
wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be
dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save
Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
Judges 6:38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow,
and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the
fleece, a bowl full of water.
