SCIENCE PROVES THE BIBLE? (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

0. Introduction

a) Can Science really prove the Bible? Atheists, scoffers and others say the scriptures are nothing more than a collection of fairy tales and fables passed from generation to generation. They contend the Bible has little credibility. Christians, however, believe it is the very word of God Almighty that explains the right way to live life both now and in the future. Somewhere in the middle are those who believe PARTS of the scriptures are true but not all of it. But who is right?

b) Is the Bible all true, partly true, or just plain fiction? Is there anything in it that would prove it had to be DIVINELY inspired? Does it contain scientific facts or knowledge that were clearly above and beyond the understanding of those who authored its pages? And what are some of the most ridiculous claims made by science trying to prove God doesn't exist and evolution is true?

1. What holds up the earth? 

a) What did humans living many, many years ago believe held up the earth? World Mythology stated many believed it "rest(ed) on the back of a turtle." The book Myths & Legends gives us a more general statement when it says that when one researches Hindu, Greek or other writings regarding their worship that one finds they believe the world was "held up by a man, elephant, catfish, or some other physical support."

b) Job is the OLDEST written book in the Bible, dating to around 1660s B.C. Note what it says regarding the earth, which was totally contrary to the logic and science at the time. 

i) "He stretches out the north over EMPTY SPACE. He hangs the earth on NOTHING." (Job 26:7)

c) When we look at earth against the backdrop of the rest of the universe, doesn't it look like its just hanging in space - hanging from NOTHING? Gravity, which we now understand a bit more, is the invisible force that holds the earth "up" in outer space. Job's statement referencing what we today call gravity HAD to be divinely revealed!

The End ...
