Science

The accepted science of today is not the same as the accepted science of yesterday. The bible is shown to be the word of God B/C of its scientific accuracy. This is the same claim that is used to dispute the validaty of the word of God. But before you say that...make sure u know two things...SCIENCE AND the BIBLE. B/c if u just know science and not the bible, ur not an informed person.

The earth is suspended in space...thats a fact that we can all agree on. Ancient cultures didnt know this. The ancient egyptians use to believe that the earth was supported by pillars. the greeks believed that the earth was carried by a giant named Atlas. The Hindus believed that the world was carried by giant elephants. Those were the sciences of that day. When u pick up the word of God u find no such mythologies. Job spoke the word of God in the book of Job 26:7:

"He stretcheth out the north over the empty space and hangeth the earth upon nothing."

Job is perhaps the oldest piece of literature to man. How did Job know that the earth was suspended in space??? He could only know this by divine inspiration. "all scripture is given by the inspiration of God." 2nd Timothy 3:16.

The earth is round...and not flat...we take it for granted that the earth is flat from natural observation. Who is it that has stood on the outside of the earth and looked down upon it??? PPl did not always believe this...in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and he was warned that he would sail off the earth. Nobody knew the earth was round even in 1492 and yet in Isaiah 40:22, around the year 750 BC it says: "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth..." and the word circle in Hebrew means "globe" or "sphere." How did Job know that the earth was round in 750BC??? The only explanation is that "...Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." 2nd Peter 1:21.

The stars...can not be counted. There was an astronomer about 150 years before Christ...his name was Hypocotus...he was an astronomer/scienetist of his day. He studied and counted the stars...he claimed there were 1022 stars. 1022 stars became a scientific fact. Everyone believed there were 1022 stars for 250 years as a scientific fact!!! Then came along Ptolomy...who claimed that Hypocotus was absurd b/c Ptolomy counted the stars and claimed that there were 1056 stars!!! So they upgraded science from 1022 to 1056 stars and 1300 years later...think about it...this was a fact for 1300 years...a medical student by the name of Galileo created a telescope and looked toward the heavens, beyond the stars that the human eye could not see. There were more and more stars. Hundreds of thousands of billions of trillions....and guess wut??? Galileo said "u cant count the stars!!!" But the bible says, in Jeremiah 33:22, "The hosts of heaven cannot be numbered...!!!"

It took science nearly 2000 years to catch up with the bible...-.-....think about it...it took years for science to know that the stars cannot be numbered and it was in the bible all along.
Science changes...but the bible never changes...so when u hear ppl saying that the bible is scientifically incorrect...they dont know the bible...and most of them dont know science.
