Historically, Christians have believed the Bible to be the inspired Word of God. We have considered it to be a work of supernatural origin. In my last two posts I have been supplying evidence to support this belief. In this post I will reference Bible verses that contain accurate scientific statements, penned thousands of years before their discovery! How is this possible? It can only be due to the fact that a supernatural all knowing God is behind the scenes influencing the authors of scripture.
THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING, SO LET’S DIG IN…
The very first verse of the Bible tells us the scientifically accurate fact that the universe had a beginning. See Genesis 1:1. This truth was penned about 4,000 years ago by Moses. It was not excepted as fact by science until last century. We have all heard of the so called “Big Bang.” This is a scientific formulation that attempts to describe the beginning of the universe. Until the concept of the Big Bang science was not convinced the universe had a beginning. Albert Einstein, even tried to prove mathematically that the universe was not expanding and therefore did not have a beginning. Something he described later as the biggest blunder of his career.
Speaking of an expanding universe… Science discovered this fact with the help of powerful telescopes observing the red shift of light coming from distant objects in the universe. We now know the universe is stretching in all direction from its origin. God knew this several millennia ago. Isaiah 40:26 and Job 9:8 speak of God stretching out the heavens!
Gravity is something we scientifically literate moderns know a thing or two about. Again, it seems we were late to the party. The book of Job describes the earth as hanging upon nothing. See Job 26:7. This is a perfect description of the earth in space. It indeed is hanging upon nothing. There are no strings or wires or supports or elephants with strong backs. Only gravity.
GOD IS THE AUTHOR of Scripture. How else can these facts have been know in ancient times?
