SCIENCE PROVES THE BIBLE? (5)
(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. Did they know about WIND CURRENTS?
a) Ecclesiastes was written between 970 and 930 B.C. during the reign of Solomon. It contains a very interesting statement about the wind.
i) "The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north. The wind whirls about continually, and comes again on its circuit." (Ecclesiastes 1:6)
b) How could anyone, thousands of year ago, have known about the pattern of the earth's winds - a pattern that was not begun to be understood until the early part of the 19th century?
Earth's Prevailing Winds
c) Note that God's word says the wind goes south then turns to the north. What has been discovered is that indeed the wind goes clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and then turns about and goes counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere!
d) The Bible said the wind whirls about continually. How could an observer on the ground possibly know that winds can move constantly since such consistent winds occur only at high altitudes? The statement in Scripture about earth's winds did not make sense to the average person a few thousand years ago. The statement in Ecclesiastes is yet another one in scripture that can be proven by modern science.
The End ...
