By the end of the movie I didn't see any.

Highlight for spoilers below.

At the end the Bible is placed on a shelf next to a Koran, a Torah and I think at least one other religious text. So I don't think the message of the movie was that the Bible was going to help rebuild civilization, but rather that the people at Alcatraz were trying to preserve humankind's culture.

I suppose there's the argument for the idea that Denzel was being guided by God which is how he could fight (and shoot) so well, but without a second viewing I think most of the times he did something that made you assume he was sighted it was based on one of his other senses (hearing and smell especially).
