The Bible Foreshadows Scientific Discoveries

Is There Science In There?

Many skeptics of the Bible search for scientific corroboration within the scriptures
to verify its accuracy, or more likely, to prove that it is NOT really the Word of God.
Part of the problem is that we sometimes think that the Bible is supposed to be some kind of
science manual, designed to explain everything related to our origins and the nature of the
cosmos. Maybe that comes from hearing that the Bible has all of the answers to lifes tough
questions. But what kinds of questions? If I am looking for information on how to configure my
computer, I dont turn to the Bible. If Im looking for information about how to tune up my car
or motorcycle, I dont turn to my Bible. If Im looking for advice about how to plant my back
yard, I dont turn to my Bible. But some people who want to discredit the Bible, would argue
that all scientific answers should be found in the pages of scripture. Scripture is designed as
a manual of sorts, but NOT as a science manual. The Bible has been given to us by God so
that we can understand who He is and who He has designed us to be. It is a SPIRITUAL
manual, and it does explain something about our origin only because our origin (how we got
here) has something to do with Gods plan for our lives. But, dont try to find detailed answers
to scientific questions here. Thats not what God has given us in the Bible. He certainly could
have, but that is not whats important to God. He cares more about our spiritual life than
anything else.
That being said, I think it is fair for us to examine the scientific claims of the Bible as well,
even though these claims are often secondary comments, subordinated to the spiritual truths
God is trying to give us. If there were scientific inaccuracies in the pages of Scripture, I think it
would be fair to doubt the other truth claims as well! If the scientific observations found in the
Bible are in reality superstitions reflective of the culture in which they were written, the Bible
should be disqualified as the inspired Scripture of God. But, if the scientific observations of
the Bible agree with the facts of science today, then the Bible is once again affirmed as the
inspired Word of a true and living God. Why? Because the Creator and God of the universe is
the God of science the author of the scientific laws that govern His universe. Only the God
of science could cause scientific facts to be recorded in a book the Bible hundreds or
thousands of years before scientists discover them.
Now if we are going to measure the Bible in this way, I think it is also fair to measure other
religious writings in a similar way. For that reason, this article will sometimes compare Judeo
Christian writings to the writings of other faith systems. Its important to do this for two
reasons. First, the concurrent beliefs of other contemporary groups will highlight the divine
revelation found in the Bible. Secondly, this comparison will reveal that only the JudeoChristian Bible contains references that anticipate scientific discovery by hundreds and in
some cases several thousand years. Lets take a look at a few of them:

What is the Shape of the Earth?

Today we take the shape of the earth for granted, but remember that primitive man
had no way to actually know that the earth is spherical. In fact, without access to
exploration and distant observation, the world most certainly seemed flat, and that is exactly
how primitive men and cultures described it. But the Bible describes it differently:

Isaiah 40:22
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like
grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like
a tent to live in.
Proverbs 8:27
When He prepared the heavens, I was there: when He set a compass upon the
face of the depth
For thousands of years, the Jews were surrounded by people who believed the earth was
flat. They believed that if they were to travel too far in any direction, they would fall over the
edge. This was also taught in both Hindu and Buddhist scripture. In the 1500s however, the
first ship sailed around the world, proving that the earth was round. But even before this
explorative discovery, the round earth was recorded in the Judeo-Christian Bible! The
prophet Isaiah spoke of the 'circle of the earth.' Solomon wrote, 'He [God] set a compass
[circle] upon the face of the deep.' Hundreds of years later, Arab Muslims would speak of
infidels being pushed over the edge of the earth into space. Yet even 3,000 years ago, our
Bible said the earth was round.

How is the Earth Seated in the Cosmos?

Primitive cultures saw the flat earth as something like a table top. That was natural
for them considering the perspective from which they viewed their environment.
The earliest of thinkers and writers tried to understand just how this flat earth was held in
place related to the cosmos that they observed surrounding them. A number of ideas were
proposed, but the Bible made a striking and remarkable claim:
Job 26:7
He spreads out the northern [skies] over empty space; he suspends the earth
over nothing.
OK, imagine yourself living 3,000 years ago, and then imagine yourself writing a book. Like
everyone else in your day, you wonder what holds up the earth. Surely it has to rest on
something. Now today, we know about the force of gravity, but thats only because modern
scientists have discovered it. Aside from that knowledge, living on the earth, observing only
what a human can see and feel, wouldn't it be the logical conclusion that the earth rests on or
is supported by something? What did ancient man believe the earth rested on? Today, after
examining the mythologies of the cultures that existed alongside the ancient Jews, we can
see that many of them actually believed that the world rested on the back of a turtle. That
seemed to make sense to human beings living thousands of years ago. Perhaps it seemed
logical that the earth would rest on something slow and steady, and a giant turtle was
perhaps the ideal platform. But in addition to this explanation, there were other mythologies
that tried to answer the question. The book 'Myths and Legends' tells us:
'When one examines the writings of the Hindu, Buddhist or Greek pagan worships, for
example, one finds clear reference to the concept of the earth being held up by a man,
elephant, catfish, or some other physical support.'

Greek mythology, for example, claims that the god Atlas was holding the earth on his
shoulders. But our Bible makes a remarkably sophisticated claim, that '[God] hangeth the
earth on nothing.' What a remarkable statement of fact, especially considering the competing
primitive notions weve already looked at! The earth is suspended in space. Nothing is
holding it up. Job wrote about the same time the Hindu Scripture was written, so how did Job
know this scientific fact? Only God could have revealed this to Job. The Old Testament
prophets wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21).

Is the Universe Expanding?

Primitive cultures had extreme limitations on their ability to observe the nature of
the universe. With the naked eye alone, there is only so much that a person can
see and understand. So it shouldnt surprise us that little is written in ancient writings about
the nature of the universe and its creation. But the Bible does have something to say about it:
Isaiah 45:12
It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands
stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.
The expression stretched out is used over and over again in the scriptures to explain the
process by which God created the universe. There are many other words or expressions that
could have been used, but God inspired men to use THIS expression. Why? Well, it is
certainly consistent with our present understanding of an expanding universe. Our present
ability to observe the cosmos has confirmed that the universe is, indeed, expanding. The
distance between the stars is stretching, just as the writers of scripture first indicated, even
when their contemporaries were completely silent or mistaken on this issue.

Is there a Beginning to Time and Matter (a Cosmological

Singularity)?
Philosophers throughout the ages have given great thought to the nature of space
and matter in our universe. Many ancient Greek thinkers posited that matter and form are
eternal and had no beginning. Yet the writers of the Bible did not take this position. They
wrote that all time and matter had a beginning, a point at which everything came into being.
In modern science, we call this singular point of beginning a singularity. Look at what the
Bible has to say about this:
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth.
1 Corinthians 2:6-7
We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the
wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we
speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined
for our glory before time began.
Both the Genesis and 1 Corinthians passages, along with many more, indicate that time does
have a beginning just as current propositions of singularity suggest. In the early 1900s,
Albert Einstein, extended his Theory of Relativity beyond velocity effects and on to the

acceleration effects between observers. The results were the ten field equations of General
Relativity. Subtracting one set of these equations from another yielded the surprising result
that everything in the universe is simultaneously expanding and decelerating. The only
physical phenomenon which expands and decelerates at the same time is an explosion. But,
if the universe is the aftermath of an explosion, then sometime in the past it must have had a
beginning. There must have been a moment at which the explosion began. And unfortunately
for Einstein (who did not believe in a creator God), if the universe had a beginning, then there
must be a Beginner. Even though Einstein's own worldview initially kept him from adopting
such a conclusion, astronomer Edwin Hubble soon proved that the galaxies indeed are
expanding away from one another in the manner predicted by Einstein's original formulation
of General Relativity. Confronted with this proof, Einstein gave grudging acceptance to 'the
necessity for a beginning,' and to 'the presence of a superior reasoning power.' Einsteins
work simply confirmed what the Biblical writers already knew. The universe was NOT eternal,
but had a beginning. God created it, and He alone exists in that realm that exists before time
began.

Is the Universe Something That We Should Fear?

Early man was amazed by what he saw in the night skies. And in many cases,
these skies terrified ancient cultures. They developed a variety of theories related
to the cosmos, and the vast majority of these societies failed to understand the vast scope of
the universe. In response to their awe of the stars and cosmos, most of these cultures
invented theologies in which they tried to explain what they saw. But the writers of the Bible
took a calm approach to the cosmos, even though they had unusual insight into the scope
and magnitude of the universe:
Genesis 15:5
He took him outside and said, Look up at the heavens and count the stars -- if
indeed you can count them. Then he said to him, So shall your offspring be
Jeremiah 10:2
And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens, although the nations are
terrified by them
The contemporaries of the Jews were afraid of the sun, moon and stars. They thought they
were alive - that they were gods. But over 5,000 years ago, the Judeo-Christian Bible in the
first chapter of Genesis pointed out that the sun, moon and stars were created by God. The
ancient Jews understood that God had revealed that He is the one and only God. And for that
reason, they knew that the sun, moon and stars were simply His creation. They were not
gods.
Eclipses are an example of something that ancient people feared. When either the sun or the
moon were blocked in an eclipse, ancient cultures were desperately frightened. Some
thought eclipses happened when the moon was mad at the earth and turned its face away.
The Chinese believed that an eclipse was caused by a demon or some huge animal that ate
the sun and then would give them up again. God reassured Jeremiah that the universe is
under Gods control. Scientists later learned that heavenly bodies were not alive and that
man need not fear them. But thousands of years before scientists discovered that the
planetary bodies were inanimate, the Bible contained this scientific fact.

Are There Valleys in the Seas?

Now there are many areas in our world that are unseen and difficult to explore. But
as we progress in time, we certainly have explored more and more of the world
around us. But what about the ancient cultures of our world? How much more were they
unaware of? How much more was still unseen and undiscovered? Many ancient writings
assume false premises about those areas of our world that were yet unexplored, but the
writers of the Bible happened to describe accurately a part of the world that they could not
examine in any way:
2Samuel 22:16
The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of breath from his nostrils
Psalm 18:15
Then the channels of water appeared, And the foundations of the world were
laid bare at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.
Job 38:16
Have you entered into the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses (valleys)
of the deep?
Jonah 2:5-6
The great deep engulfed me, weeds were wrapped around my head. I
descended to the roots of the mountains
Until modern times people actually thought that the ocean floor was sandy like the desert and
saucer shaped. They assumed that it was at its deepest in the very middle. This belief was
even accepted by geologists as recently as the 19th century! But in the 1900's
oceanographers found the sea had many deep valleys or canyons. The deepest canyons
were called trenches. The Marianas Trench in the Pacific is so deep that if Mt. Everest
(29,000 feet high) was dropped into it, the peak would still be a mile below the waters
surface! We also discovered underwater mountains. In fact, we discovered that the Atlantic
Ocean contains an undersea range of mountains 10,000 miles long! Yet the writers of the
Bible, 3,000 years ago, spoke of the valleys and mountains of the sea thousands of years
before scientists discovered them.

Are There Springs and Fountains in the Sea?

Sometimes the stories and claims of the Bible seem preposterous. And sometimes
we, as Christians, feel as though we have to suspend our examination of the
physical evidence in order to believe the claims of scripture. One example of this, for over
300 years, was the description in the Bible of springs and fountains in the Ocean. Check out
what the Bible has to say on the subject:
Genesis 7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second
month -- on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of
the heavens were opened

Genesis 8:1-2
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were
with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. Now
the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the
rain had stopped falling from the sky.
Proverbs 8:27-28
I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon
on the face of the deep, when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the
fountains of the deep
Well, are there really fountains or springs in the oceans? Many people thought that the Bible
got this one wrong and they held on to their disbelief for some 3,000 years; until 1977. Deep
water exploration had been underway for nearly 60 years by this time, but ocean springs
were still unknown and undiscovered until 1977. Then, with only 5% of the ocean floor
explored, Lewis Thomas (The Medusa and the Snail) wrote that scientists found springs in
the ocean off the coast of Ecuador, and they found them at an ocean depth of 1.5 miles! They
contained super heated water of about 450 degrees, and according to the article, explorers
found even more springs of this nature. Scientists exploring another section of ocean found
six springs about 60 miles apart. If this many springs were discovered with only 5% of the
ocean floor explored, how many more springs might there be in the other 95%?
In the past, many Bible skeptics have claimed that the oceans and the atmosphere together
could not have contained enough water to flood the earth to the depth needed to cover the
mountains as described in the Great Flood story in Genesis. But is that really true? With the
discovery of ocean springs, and the fact that the Bible says the springs in the oceans were
broken up at the time of the flood, isnt it possible that their flow would increase? How much
extra water could the broken up springs produce? The Biblical statements about springs in
the oceans, written 3,000 years ago, were against all that was known, or indeed could
possibly have been known, at the time.

Are There Water Paths (Ocean Currents) in the Seas?

Today we take it for granted that the oceans contain currents. But in ancient times,
this was a hidden fact of the seas. Primitive people had no idea that ocean
currents existed, mostly because they really had no idea exactly how large the oceans really
were! Remember that the known world to these cultures was really a very small part of the
earth. But look at what the Bible writers wrote:
Psalm 8:1, 3, 6, 8
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!...When I
consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you
have set in place,...You made him [man] ruler over the works of your hands; you put
everything under his feet...the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the
paths of the seas
In the 1800s, Matthew Maury, an officer in the United States Navy, believed his Bible. As a
Christian, he loved to read the scriptures, and one day Maury was reading about the

dominion man was given over the animals in Psalm 8. He was amazed that verse 8 spoke of
the fish and all creatures that swim in the 'paths of the sea.' He wondered what was meant by
this expression. In his experience, he had never known of such a thing. He was determined
to find out if these paths of the sea were really true. Maury discovered that the oceans have
many paths or currents, which were like rivers flowing through the sea. Maury wrote the first
book on oceanography and became known as 'the pathfinder of the seas', and 'The father of
modern navigation.' Maury received his idea about ocean currents from reading Psalm 8:8,
written about 3,000 years ago by King David. David wrote as he was moved by the Spirit of
God and probably never actually saw an ocean current with his own eyes.

Is There Something Called the Hydrologic Cycle?

Each of us is surrounded by weather all day long, and we generally take it for
granted. But ancient cultures were often so mystified by the weather that they
attributed mystical forces to everything they saw. But look at how the Biblical writers
described the forces of weather (something we have come to call the Hydrologic Cycle):
Job 26:8
He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their
weight
Job 36:27-28
He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds
pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind
Ecclesiastes 1:6-7
The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To
the place the streams come from, there they return again
Genesis 8:22
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer
and winter, day and night will never cease.
Job 28:26
God made decrees [rules] for the rain. And He set a way for the lightning of the
thunder
Amos 9:6
He who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the
earth, the LORD is His name.
Remember that in ancient times, most religious scripture taught that lightning bolts were
missiles thrown in anger by any number of gods. In China, Taoist scripture regarded the
rainbow as a deadly rain dragon. In Confucius scripture, the goddess of lightning, Tien Mu,
flashed light on her intended victims to enable Lei Kung, the god of thunder to launch his
deadly bolts with precision! And since rain is so necessary to life, ancient people wondered
what caused it in hopes of increasing its delivery. Some tried to stab holes in the clouds with
spears. The Vedas (Hindu scripture) advised to tie a frog with its mouth open to a particular

tree and say a specific set of words in order to cause the rain to fall. Now the Bible also talks
about rain, lightning and storms, but it contains none of the superstitious ideas found in other
religious writings. The Bible taught that earths weather followed rules and cycles.
Centuries later, scientists began to discern the 'rules for the rain' that Job talked about.
Rainfall is part of a process called the water cycle, and heres how the cycle works. The sun
evaporates water from the ocean. That water vapor rises and becomes clouds. The water in
the clouds falls back to earth as rain, collecting in streams and rivers and making its way
back to the ocean. This process then repeats itself over and over again. Galileo discovered
this cycle hundreds of years ago. In fact, even today scientists are only beginning to fully
understand Gods 'decrees or rules for the rain.' But the process we now know as the
"Hydrologic Cycle" was being described by the authors of the Bible thousands of years ago.

Is There Something Called Entropy?

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is a relatively recent observation in the field
of science, especially considering the long history of human thinking here on planet
earth. But the Bible writers already spoke of this law of God:
Psalm 102:22-26
In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the
work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a
garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded
Hebrews 1:10-11
In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens
are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like
a garment.
From a scientific perspective, the law of entropy, also known as the Second Law of
Thermodynamics, is sometimes described in the following manner: Energy spontaneously
tends to flow only from being concentrated in one place to becoming diffused or dispersed
and spread out (in other words, disorder or randomness tends to increase). A system will, if
isolated from external sources of order or energy or 'information', eventually run down and
'die'. This law is quite basic in every scientific system or process. As far as science has been
able to show, the law of entropy is universal in scope, with no exceptions known. And
remember, this law was only discovered and validated by science about a hundred years
ago, and only after much uncertainty and controversy. But had these same men been paying
close attention to their Bibles, they would have seen the Second Law of Thermodynamics
described quite clearly. The writers of scripture told us thousands of years ago that God
created everything in a state of perfection, but sin has initiated a process of decay that
continues to this day.

Is There Something Special About Pleiades, Orion and Arcturus?

If youve ever read the story of Job in the Bible, you are probably aware of the fact
that Job was extremely wealthy and had a great family. But, tragedy struck and he
lost his wealth, his children and his wife. To make matters worse, Job was reduced to
excruciating pain, and was eventually covered with sores from head to toe. All this was too
much for Job, and he eventually accused the Lord of being unjust. God didnt answer Jobs

accusation directly. Instead, He began to ask Job a series of questions and one of these
questions demonstrates perhaps the most amazing scientific truth in all of scripture:
Job 38:31-32
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his
sons?
Now God makes a statement about three stellar constellations, and as we examine these,
well see that science has only recently confirmed something that God told us a long time
ago. First lets take a look at what God says about Orion: 'Canst thou . . . loose the bands of
Orion?' God is talking specifically about the three stars that form the belt on the Orion
constellation. These three stars appeared to be fixed on our sky, rigidly aligned to form a
relatively straight line. Yet God asks Job, Hey do you think YOU can loosen this band? Its
as if He is saying, Well, I can buddy! It may seem as though the band of stars is fixed, but
Garrett P. Serviss, the noted astronomer, wrote about the bands of Orion in his book
Curiosities of the Sky. Today, this band consists of an almost perfectly straight line of
second-magnitude stars that are equally spaced and very beautiful. In the course of time,
however, the two right-hand stars, Mintaka and Alnilam, will approach each other and form a
naked-eye double; but the third, Alnitak, will drift away eastward so that the band will no
longer exist. In other words, one star is traveling in a certain direction at a certain speed, a
second one is traveling in a different direction at a second speed, and the third one is going in
a third direction and at a still different speed. As a matter of fact, every star in Orion is
traveling its own course, independent of all the others. As time passes, this band of stars will
indeed be loosened, just as God told Job.

Orion

Pleiades

Arcturus

But now lets take a look at the Pleiades Constellation. Look at what God says: 'Canst thou
bind the sweet influence of the Pleiades . . . ?' God seems to be challenging Job in exactly
the opposite manner from what he said about Orion! Its as if He is saying, Hey Job, you
think you can keep Pleiades together? Well, I can! As it turns out, the seven stars of the
Pleiades are in reality a grouping of 250 suns. And photographs now reveal, that 250 blazing
suns in this group are all traveling together in one common direction. Isabel Lewis of the
United States Naval Observatory (quoted in Phillip L. Knox, Wonder Worlds) tells us that
astronomers have identified 250 stars as actual members of this group, all sharing a common
motion and drifting through space in the same direction. Lewis says they are 'journeying
onward together through the immensity of space.' Dr. Robert J. Trumpler (quoted in the same
book) says that over 25,000 individual measures of the Pleiades stars are now available, And
these measurements confirm that the whole cluster is moving in a southeasterly direction.
The Pleiades stars are kind of like a swarm of birds, flying together to a distant goal. Sounds

a lot like what God described in the Book of Job! Hey Job, can you bind Pleiades together? I
did!
Finally, lets take a look at Arcturus. Remember what God said about this constellation:
'Canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?' Once again, God seems to be challenging Job
here. Hey Job, you think you can direct Arcturus anywhere you want? Well, I can! Arcturus
may look like it is fixed in the sky, but Garrett P. Serviss wrote that Arcturus is one of the
greatest suns in the universe, and it is a runaway star whose speed of flight is about 257
miles per second. Arcturus, according to astronomers, is thousands of times more massive
than our sun, which is traveling only 12 miles a second! Charles Burckhalter, of the Chabot
Observatory, (again quoted in Wonder Worlds) says that Arcturus high velocity places it
that very small class of stars that apparently are a law unto themselves. Arcturus is a
runaway. The combined attraction of all the stars we know cannot stop him or even turn him
in his path. When Mr. Burckhalter was directed to the Book of Job, he studied it in the light of
modern discovery and made a statement that has attracted worldwide attention:
The study of the Book of Job and its comparison with the latest scientific discoveries
has brought me to the matured conviction that the Bible is an inspired book and was
written by the One who made the stars.
These scientific facts recorded in the book of Job concerning the Pleiades, Orion and
Arcturus constellations anticipated scientific discovery by nearly 3,000 years. Scientists only
discovered these startling facts in the Twentieth Century, yet they were recorded in the book
of Job nearly 3000 years ago. Twentieth Century science has proven Gods Word, the Bible,
is true.

Does the Bible Stand Apart from Other Ancient Religious Books?
As A.A. MacDonell observes in Vedic Mythology, the Hindu scriptures, the Vedas
and Uparushads, consider that 'all the objects and phenomena of nature which
man is surrounded, are animate and divine.' This includes the sun, moon, earth, clouds, rain,
rivers, seas and even rocks. According to these ancient religious documents, these objects
are alive. Writers of the Buddhist canon also ascribe life to non-living objects like the sun,
moon, lightning, rainbows, mountains, and the list goes on. The Taoist and Confucian
writings of China contain similar claims. The Koran, the scripture of Islam, written 1,500 years
after the Hindu scripture, does not (to its credit) contain many of these ancient superstitions.
Yet its observations of the universe are also questionable at many points. The Koran speaks
of seven literal heavens, and these heavens are said to be solid. These heavens are also
said to contain lamps or stars whose main purpose is to be 'darted at the devils.' In addition
to this Mohammed wrote that 'the sun sets in a sea of black mud.' The descriptions and
observations of other religious books are also filled with similar mythologies. It is striking,
however, that the ancient contemporary of these mythologies, the Bible, still stands the test of
time!

Is the Bible Inspired by a Living God?

Our Bible makes scientific observations that were confirmed centuries later by
modern science, while the sacred scripture of other world religions usually
reflected the scientific superstitions of their culture. How could the Judeo-Christian Scripture
anticipate scientific discovery by 3,000 years? Even though the Bible is clearly not written as

a science manual, there is nothing in it to contradict the claims of scientists today. And while
many would claim that the presence of anything supernatural violates the testing and
examination of science (and this is, in fact, true), that does not mean that a God who is divine
and powerful enough to reveal incredible science to us thousands of years before we could
ever discover it on our own, is not also able to break or bend the very laws of nature and
science that He created in the first place. As we see the truth of our world and our universe
revealed to us in the scriptures, find solace and confirmation in the fact that the Bible was
inspired by the Creator and God of the Universe, who just so happens to also be the God of
science.
