Science in the Bible

Contrary to Popular Belief, the Bible contains scientific facts that no other religious books contain. It also gets all of these right. This article contains some of the major science found in the Bible.

## The Universe

### Genesis and Creation

The Creation Account in Genesis now perfectly matches the creation account of Science. Atheists make the mistake of getting the wrong point of reference, but the Bible says that, other than Genesis 1:1, the creation account of Genesis is written from the point of view of God on the surface of the Earth (Genesis 1:2 - Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, *and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters*.). Since it is written from the Point of View of God, the days are literal days since time is different (and does not apply) for God (2 Peter 3:8–9 - For a day of the Lord is 1000 years and 1000 years is a day). Because of this, we can now know that the "days" in Genesis simply refer to a chronological sequence of events that have a definite start and end time and happen one after another with no overlap. In contrast, Genesis 2 is not in a chronological order, but rather it exists to enforce the need for some of the things that God creates (EG: A water cycle and Eve). After the creation account, Genesis returns to a chronological order.

Here is the correct order for creation, which is both Biblical and Scientific:

* Creation of the Earth and Universe.
* Water Cycle set up.
* Dry Land and Plants Formed.
* The Sun, Moon, and Stars become visible on the surface of the Earth as the atmosphere thins.
	+ The Book of Job mentions how God wrapped the Earth in clouds during the first 3 days of creation.
* Birds and Sea Creatures.
* Land Animals and Humans

### The Universe is Expanding

The Bible repeatedly declares this. Job 26:7 and many other verses clearly state that the universe is expanding. No book outside of the Bible declared this until the 20th Century, whereas the Bible said this thousands of years ago. Many modern translations use phrases like "Stretches out the Heavens", but the Hebrew word used is the one for expansion, and the Heavens (with an article) always refers to the universe in the Bible.

### Innumerable Stars

People used to believe that the sky was a roof above the Earth. This concluded them to believe that were only as many stars in the sky as they could count, which totals to around 1000. Jeremiah 33:22, however, claims that there are as many stars as there are grains of sand on a beach. Today we know that there are actually an uncountable amount of stars.

### The End of the Universe

The Bible claims that, eventually, the universe and everything in it will cease to exist. Both the old testament and new testament declare this. Scientists recently discovered that in 10^100 (10 with 100 zeros after it) years, the universe's matter will be so dispersed because of the lack of light that it will appear empty.

## The Laws of Physics

### Light Can be Scattered

Job 38:24 claims that light can be scattered. Today we know that this is true, and it's where colours and rainbows come from. At the time, people didn't even realise that light moved, so of course they didn't know that it could be scattered using a prism, as light can only be scattered as it moves.

## Earth

### A Round Earth

Isaiah 40:22 mentions a "circle of the Earth." This infers that the Earth is round, instead of flat, which was believed at the time. This verse was written a few hundred years before Greek scientists realised that it was round.

### The Earth's Core

The Bible says that "below the surface the earth is transformed as by fire," which hints towards a fiery center of the Earth. Today, we have discovered the Earth's core, which is a fiery ball in the Middle of the Earth. We could only do this using specialised equipment which didn't exist until recently.

### Ocean Springs and Canyons

Before diving suits, the pressure and depth of the oceans meant that people could never see the bottom of the ocean. People didn't realise that the oceans contained springs and that the ocean floors are not flat. People finally discovered ocean springs 400 years ago but the Bible, which was written thousands of years ago, says this first.

### Wind blows in Cyclones

People used to believe that wind blew in straight lines. However, when people invented the equipment to measure this, they realised it blew in cyclones. The Bible claims this before the equipment was invented, with thousands of years to spare.

## Life on Earth

### Humans from the Dust of the Earth

The Bible claims that man was made from the "dust of the Earth." After the discovery of elements, we realised that science states that the human body is made of 28 elements that are found in the ground of the Earth.

### Infant circumcision

The Bible teaches that infants should be circumcised on the 8th day after their birth. Today we know that a human's blood is best at clotting when they are 8 days old. This is another example of the Bible predicting modern medical discoveries.

### Timezones

The Bible seems to Hint towards there being multiple timezones. Jesus says that some people will be in bed when he returns, and some will be working on the farm. This seems to suggest that people will be doing different things, including sleeping. As well as this, The Gospel of Luke uses both the work "day" and "night" to refer to the 2nd coming. This implies that it will be different times for different people all around the world during the 2nd coming.

### Unclean Meat

The Bible says in Leviticus that we shouldn't eat fish without fins. Today we know that finless fish (bottom feeders) usually reside at the bottom of the ocean and eat all of the bacteria and waste that is found in the ocean. At the time, we didn't even know that bacteria existed!

## Psychology

### Happiness Like Medicane

The Bible says that a "Merry Heart doeth good like medicane." Researchers have come to a conclusion that stress can suppress the immune system and happiness improves the immune system. Even in 2022, researchers discovered that the Human Brain shrinks with depression, causing death at an earlier age.
