Science found in the Bible well before 'rational' people discovered it:
BIBLE: "Things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
- Science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms
BIBLE: “Consistently says that a baby must be circumcised on the eighth day.”
- Medical science has only recently discovered that blood-clotting in a newborn reaches its peak on the eighth day, then drops.
BIBLE: "He...hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7).
- There was a time when man believed the Earth sat atop a large animal. The Bible describes space.
BIBLE: "It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22).
- Well before Columbus proved the world was round the bible already stated the earth was round.
BIBLE: "Can you send lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?" (Job 38:35)
- Radio waves travel at the speed of light…foreshadowing of radio waves and things to come? Science didn’t discover this until 1864 when "British scientist James Clerk Maxwell suggested that electricity and light waves were two forms of the same thing" (Modern Century Illustrated Encyclopedia).
BIBLE: "Where is the way where light dwells?"
- Man discovered light (electromagnetic radiation) has a "way," traveling at 186,000 miles per second
BIBLE: Job 38:7: "When the morning stars sang together..."
- Science has discovered that stars emit radio waves, which are received on earth as a high pitch.
BIBLE / SCIENCE: "Most cosmologists (scientists who study the structures and evolution of the universe) agree that the Genesis account of creation, in imagining an initial void, may be uncannily close to the truth"
BIBLE: "The wind goes toward the south, and turns about unto the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits" (Ecclesiastes 1:6).
- Solomon described a "cycle" of air currents two thousand years before scientists "discovered" them.
BIBLE: "In the beginning [time] God created [power] the heaven [space] and the earth [matter] (Genesis 1:1,2)
- Science expresses the universe in five terms: time, space, matter, power, and motion.
BIBLE: The Bible specifies the perfect dimensions for a stable water vessel
(Genesis 6:15).
- Ship builders today are well aware that the ideal dimension for ship stability is a length six times that of the width. Keep in mind, God told Noah the ideal dimensions for the ark 4,500 years ago.
BIBLE: “Have you entered the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in search of the depths?
- Jonah 2: 5 – 6 talks about the great mountains at the bottom of the ocean -- The ocean is very deep. Almost all the ocean floor is in total darkness and the pressure there is enormous. It would have been impossible for Job to have explored the "springs of the sea." It would have been impossible for Jonah to know that there were great mountains under the ocean. Until recently, it was thought that oceans were fed only by rivers and rain. Yet in the 1970s, with the help of deep diving research submarines that were constructed to withstand 6,000 pounds-per-square-inch pressure, oceanographers discovered springs on the ocean floors!
