SCIENCE PROVES THE BIBLE? (3)
(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. Are no NEW cells created?
a) A speaker once stated that there were no NEW cells being created. The speaker based his comment on the research of several scientists who stated that "All cells come only from existing cells." (Introductory Biology by Linda R. Berg, published 1997 by Saunders College Publishing). One of the people listening to the message asked WHERE do the countless cells that compose our bodies come from if cells are not being created today? The answer to this question is the third scientific fact that helps prove the Bible. Genesis 35:11 says the following.
i) "And God said unto him, I am God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come OUT OF YOUR LOINS." (Genesis 35:11, KJV)
b) Abraham was the father of Isaac. Isaac was the father of Jacob, who was later renamed ISRAEL. Jacob had twelve sons, each of which would grow into its own tribe. They are collectively referred to as the twelve tribes of Israel. Levi was one of the twelve sons. In Hebrews 7:5 it says that Levi, who was born after Abraham, was in a sense present at the meeting between Abraham and Melchizedek since he was in the loins or body of his great-grandfather. Are the verses we just read from based on SCIENCE? Were we, in a very real way, in our grandfather's "loins?" Or are these statements in the Bible merely a metaphor or allegory?
c) A bit of clarification is needed by what is meant that no NEW cells are being created today. True enough, our bodies create cells all the time and in that sense they are new. But where did the cells that currently make up our bodies come from? Did they just pop into existence out of NOTHING? Were they created out of some random CHANCE of the right molecules coming together at the right time in exactly the right order, etc. etc. . . . as evolutionists believe the basic building blocks of all life were created? NO! The current cells in our body were made from the splitting of cells that ALREADY EXISTED! In short, our existence was made possible by those (our parents) who ALREADY existed!
d) Humans begin life on this planet as a single cell that very quickly multiplies. This one cell, with our entire genetic makeup, was created when two EXISTING cells - one from each of our parents - combined. But that begs another question. Where then did the two cells that combined to form the one cell that led to our existence COME FROM? The cells in our parents that created us ultimately came from cells that already existed in THEIR parents (our grandparents) and so on. In fact, science states that all life originated from living cells existing in their parents. The Bible statements written thousands of years ago were based on cell knowledge not known at the time. This is another proof of the divine inspiration of God's word.
The End ...
