There are quite a few references (in various astronomical writings over the centuries and coincidentally cited in Wikipedia and other places) by secular astronomers commenting that the Jewish sages of antiquity made astronomical calculations documented in the Talmud that were ahead of their time, where the world astronomers could not make as accurate calculations.

On a slightly tangential note, the secular world cannot account for how the Jews were able to have the Kosel Hamaaravi built with such large stones that human beings could not carry at a time before machinery that would enable such a structure.
