SCIENCE PROVES THE BIBLE? (2)
(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. Ocean Springs
a) In the book of Genesis we learn how the great flood (Noah's flood) was created.
i) "on that day all the FOUNTAINS OF THE GREAT DEEP WERE BROKEN UP, and the windows of heaven were opened." (Genesis 7:11)
b) The word translated as "fountains" in the above verse (Strong's Concordance #H4599) can mean springs or wells in addition to fountains. Do the oceans have fountains? It took until 1977 for scientists to find ocean springs off Ecuador's coast (The Medusa and the Snail by Lewis Thomas, published 1979 by Viking Press, NY. ). These springs contained 450 degree water.
c) Biblical statements about "fountains" in the deep were put down when Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible between 1445 and 1405 B.C. This knowledge had to come from someone or something higher and greater than man - it HAD to come from God.
The End ...
