10 Scientific Facts In The Bible

 

1

Dinosaurs. Job 40:15-24 says, ``Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox. ``Behold now, his strength in his loins And his power in the muscles of his belly. ``He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together. ``His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron. ``He is the first of the ways of God; Let his maker bring near his sword. ``Surely the mountains bring him food, And all the beasts of the field play there. ``Under the lotus plants he lies down, In the covert of the reeds and the marsh. ``The lotus plants cover him with shade; The willows of the brook surround him. ``If a river rages, he is not alarmed; He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth. ``Can anyone capture him when he is on watch, With barbs can anyone pierce his nose?”

In this passage of Scripture, an animal is described. In verse 17 the Bible says, ``He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together.” The animal mentioned here is clearly a dinosaur. The Bible says a Behemoth. Science can only speculate as to why dinosaurs disappeared from the face of the earth.

Quarantine. Leviticus 13:46 says, “He shall remain unclean all the days during which he has the infection; he is unclean. He shall live alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp.”In 1490 B.C. the Bible gave the instruction of what to do if someone has leprosy. Long before Science discovered to keep sick people isolated the Bible had the answer. The reason the Black Death spread in England was that the guidance God gave was ignored.

3

Ship Dimensions. Genesis 6:15 says, “This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.”

In 1609 a ship was built after the same pattern in Genesis. In 1993 KRISO discovered that the ark Noah built could not be compared to any modern design. Modern shipbuilders use the dimensions and design in Genesis.

4

First Law of Thermodynamics. Genesis 2:1 says, “Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.”

The creation is finished. The creation is complete. The sun, earth and seas are finished. The flowers, trees, animals and mankind are fully complete. The Law states that neither matter nor energy can either create or destroy.

Light and Radio Waves. Job 38:34-35 says, “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, So that an abundance of water will cover you? ``Can you send forth lightnings that they may go And say to you, `Here we are'?”

In 1500 B.C. God asked Job this question, Can you send out lightnings, that they say go, And say to you, 'Here we are!'? Light can be sent and manifest itself as speech. All electric magnetic radiation travels at the speed of light. This is how we can have instant wireless communication with someone on the other side of the world. It wasn't until 1864 (3,330 years later) that James Maxwell suggested what has always been written in the Bible.

6

Oceanography. Matthew Maury is considered the father of Oceanography. He is noted for the expression of the paths of the sea. Psalms 8:8 says, “The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.” Maury discovered this after taking God at His word. His book on Oceanography is still used in universities.

7

The Circle of the earth. Isaiah 40:22 says, "He who sits above the circle of the earth." Written between 740 – 680 B.C. By watching the mast of a ship sinking down over the horizon, Aristotle theorized the earth was a circle. The Bible said this 300 years before.

8

Information in the blood. Leviticus 17:11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood," Many don't realize that our blood tells doctors a great deal about our health. The blood can tell doctors important information about our heart, kidneys, liver and other organs. The blood can reveal diseases such as AIDS, cancer and diabetes. Up until 120 years ago, people who were sick were bled. This was done because doctors thought it would help, but it did not. We now know that sick people need blood. Hence we give them blood transfusions as blood gives life to the flesh. More than 1000 years before Christ the Bible stated this truth.

Wash under running water. Leviticus 15:13 says, “Now when the man with the discharge becomes cleansed from his discharge, then he shall count off for himself seven days for his cleansing; he shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water and will become clean.”

In 1845 Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the rate of women dying after giving birth in hospital. Up to 30% of women died. He noted that doctors did not wash their hands after treating each patient. After washing hands before treating the women the death rate fell to just 2%.

Earth floats free in space. In Job 26:7 the Bible says, "He hangs the earth upon nothing." Scientists did not discover this until 1650. It was believed that the earth sat on a large animal. The Bible tells us differently. The Bible talks about the earth hanging on nothing.
