THE BIBLE IS CONSISTENT WITH ASTRONOMICAL SCIENCE
The Bible is scientifically accurate even though it is an ancient text. Things are revealed in the Bible that have just in the last few centuries, been discovered. Many of the statements we will list were written thousands of years before scientific tools existed to reveal such facts. Clearly the books were inspired by the Creator of this universe. For instance in the days of Christopher Columbus men thought the world was flat. But those who knew the true science of the Earth knew it was round. This was supported thousands of years before Columbus added to the corrected science of our day by the Bible.
Isaiah 40:22 NKJV 22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens …...
The Bible also refers to the great or vast number of stars in the heavens or outer space.
Jeremiah 33:22 NKJV 22 'As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the descendants of David My servant....
Genesis 22:17 NKJV 17 "blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.
Even with the Hubble Telescope now orbiting the Earth, and in space, scientists still cannot determine how many stars exist nor apparently find the outer boundaries of space yet. Only about 3,000 stars can be seen with the naked eye and it is estimated that 10 to the 21st power of stars are somewhat known. Further it is estimated that the earth's seashores have about 10 to the 25th power of grains of sand. The two numbers might someday match? The Bible also says that each star is unique.
1 Corinthians 15:41 NKJV 41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
Stars all appear to us on earth as somewhat similar points of light. However analysis of the light spectra reveals now with modern instruments that each is unique and different from all others. The precision movements of the universe are also revealed in the word of God.
Jeremiah 31:35-36 RSV 35 Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar--the LORD of hosts is his name: 36 "If this fixed order departs from before me,...forever."
Einstein said that it was the perfect mathematical precision of the universe that enabled him to die believing in a intelligent design or God. Further, the Bible describes the suspension of Earth in space on nothing.
Job R 26:7 SV 7 He stretches out the north over the void, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
Ancient men would have never understood that the Earth was held in place by nothing. They had all kinds of pagan ideas like, the Earth being held on Atlas' shoulder etc. Earth has an invisible magnetic attraction to the Sun.
THE BIBLE IS CONSISTENT WITH BIOLOGY AND METEOROLOGY
The word of God describes some fluid dynamics such as air and water.
Job 28:25 RSV 25 When he gave to the wind its weight, and meted out the waters by measure;
Not until recent centuries did men have instruments that could weigh the air, but God revealed this truth in his word thousands of years ago. The relative weights of air and water are needed for the efficient functioning of the planets hydrology cycle, which in turn sustains life on earth.
Ecclesiastes 1:7 NKJV 7 All the rivers run into the sea, Yet the sea is not full; To the place from which the rivers come, There they return again.
Water is recycled and marvelously contained within planet Earth. Further Leviticus written in 1406 B.C. describes the essential function and value of blood.
Leviticus 17:11 RSV 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it for you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the life.
Men did not appreciate the value of blood until recent centuries. Doctors use to bleed people as a treatment option. It is believed that George Washington died because doctors bled him while trying to cure an infection. We now know that sharing of blood laden needles is a major spreader of diseases. The Bible says that organism cannot JUMP species.
Genesis 1:21 RSV 21 So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:25 RSV 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
How does God achieve this species specific control of the nature of living organisms?
THE AWESOME DNA CODE PLUS
The fine tuning that scientist have found in our universe is jaw dropping. The number most cited for probability of all this find tuning happening by blind chance are 10 to the one hundred and twentieth power. That is a unimaginable amounts of zeroes after the one. We will look at one portion of this fine tuning called the DNA enigma. Every cell of all living organisms are controlled by a biological computer like code. Francis Crick and James Watson in 1953 began elucidating this code. What a discovery. Each cell has a lot of complexity and the evolutionary concept of the one cell simple organism is extremely false. This discovery totally unravels the theory of evolution. It proves that life is wonderfully made and very complex at the very cell level.
Psalms 139:14 NKJV 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
DNA and RNA pour vast amounts of information into every cell. Human DNA has three billion base pairs. DNA code directs molecular machines inside every cell so they can produce the proteins necessary for that life to function. A single protein with 150 amino acids in a unique sequence has a mathematical chance of happening by chance of only one in 10 to 164 power. Impossible! Any mutation that allowed a change in the order and sequence would degrade the program. The life would malfunction.
Evolution is based on natural selection but this selection can only choose among the creatures that already exists. Natural selection can only explain the survival of a unique variety of life but not it's origin. Science recently discovered that all new life forms require a vast amount of new information. This vast amount of digital information is a key to life. Digital information could only come from a very intelligent designer. Human coding is not as complex as genetic codes found in all lifeforms. The more information given to control the biological machinery of that cell the less chance any of it can be by blind chance or a cosmic accident. These unreal stats are beyond chance. Design(code) must have have an intelligent designer.
Psalms 8:3-6 NKJV 3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, 4 What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? 5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor....You have put all things under his feet,
God's creation is awesome and He has made a gorgeous environment for mankind.
