Science and the Bible

Modern science is the Christian’s best friend because new discoveries have verified information God placed in the Bible many hundreds of years before this information was proven by the scientific method.  Around 1500 BC it was believed the world rested on the back of a giant turtle. In the book of Job, written around 2100 BC, God tells us the earth hangs on nothing. We now know the earth is floating in space while orbiting the sun.

Job 26:7 – He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.

The consensus until after the time of Columbus was that the world was flat yet the prophet Isaiah writing in the eighth century BC recorded that the earth was a sphere.

Isaiah 40:22 – It is He who sits above the circle of the earth.

In Genesis 6, God gave Noah precise dimensions for the ark that were later used in shipbuilding. By 1900 every large shipbuilder on the high seas used the proportions of the ark as verified by Lloyd’s Register of Shipping in the World Almanac.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the energy in the universe is decreasing over time. Three Scriptures in the Bible confirmed this thousands of years before science proved it.

Isaiah 51:6 – For the heavens will vanish away like smoke, the earth will grow old like a garment.

Psalm 102:25-26; Hebrews 1:11 – And the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish but You will endure; yes, they will all grow old like a garment; like a cloak You will change them, and they will be changed.
