CreationWiki response:

The fact that there are other ancient references to the importance of blood does not change the fact that the Bible is accurate on this point. It is just one of many such points that support overall Biblical accuracy.

This only shows that no special revelation was required for the writers of the Bible to know of the importance of blood. It does not change the fact that the Bible is accurate on this point.

Talk.Origins is missing the point. It is not just that blood is needed to survive, but the fact that it carries oxygen and food to every cell, as well as removing waste. At least for a time all of the other systems can be bypassed to keep a person alive artificially, but the blood still needs to be kept circulating and supplied with food and oxygen.
