SCIENCE IN THE BIBLE

 

An evolutionist once challenged me
to show him evidence of
Science in the Bible,
something that people back in the Bible times
could not have known.

He then claimed that it could not be done,
that there was not even ONE example.

Well, here are a number of examples
of science in the Bible:

 


* Job 28:24-25
"For He looks to the ends of the earth,
and sees under the whole heaven;
To make the weight for the winds;
and He weighs the waters by measure."

3000 or 4000 years ago
people could probably have figured out
that water weighs something.
This becomes especially obvious
when a breaker knocks you down in the surf.
But it has only been in the last 300 or so years
that science has determined
that the wind actually weighs something.


* Proverbs 6:6
"Go to the ant, O sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise..."

Scientists only discovered in the 1600s or 1700s
that worker ants are all female.
Yet Solomon wrote of all hard-working ants as female
in his Bible book of Proverbs.
Solomon lived about 900 B.C.
[The Septuagint LXX has ants being male,
but goes on to describe the activities of bees.
In this verse Solomon says, "Or go to the bee,
and learn how diligent she is, and how earnestly
she is engaged in her work ..."]


* Job 38:31
"Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades,
Or loose the cords of Orion?"

It has only been recently that astronomers
have discovered that
the Pleiades have been bound together for ages,
and that the stars in Orion's belt are moving apart.


* Ecclesiastes 1:6
"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."

People can see that the wind blows,
but to know that it goes in great circles
is not that easy to understand
(unless you can see it with satellite photos)!


* Job 26:7
"He stretches out the north over empty space
And hangs the earth on nothing."

The ancients believed the earth
was supported on the backs of
giant turtles or elephants or aardvarks,
depending on who you talk to.
But in the book of Job,
God states that He hung the earth on nothing.
He created it out of nothing and hung it on nothing!

This is one POWERFUL God.

These are just a few examples
of scientific things that we
suppose
no one in the past could have known.

However, it is well within the realm of possibility
that the ancients
were a lot smarter than we give them credit for!
They may have known about
these scientific things from advanced study
with technology we haven't even dreamed of yet.
Of course, that flies in the face of evolution too!
Evolution maintains that ancient man
was very primitive, akin to apes.
How could he have had advanced technology?

The answer is very simple.
Genesis 1:1 states, "In the beginning,
God created the heavens and the earth."
Read farther and you see that
ancient man was the pinnacle of Creation.
And we technologically "advanced" humans today
are very much degenerated
from that perfection!

 

It has been pointed out that these texts
I just quoted are not meant to be scientific,
that they are mainly poetic in form and substance.
And that I should not use them to prove anything scientific.

However, if you think about it,
these "poetic" verses DO contain real science!

Instead of making my claims weak,
this just strengthens them.

Various Bible writers, in writing poetic verse,
also presented valid scientific principles!

This is exactly what one would expect from
material given to the Bible writers
from the God who created the universe
and all the laws of science!!

 

AT ANY RATE, THERE IS SCIENCE IN THE BIBLE!

 


 

"The Evolutionist establishment refuses to acknowledge
any such possibility as (Creationism).
They would like to believe
(and would like others to believe)
that every Creationist is merely a religious propagandist
who wants to misuse "science" to lend credence
to his religious presuppositions.
The ironic truth however is that far more often,
it is the Evolutionist who abuses "science"
to market his own atheistic beliefs
and that it is the Creationist who is compelled by
scientific considerations
to the conclusion of an intelligent Designer." *

"While the admission of a design for the universe
ultimately raises the question of a
Designer
(a subject outside of science),
the scientific method
does not allow us to
exclude
data which lead to the conclusion that
the universe, life, and man
are based on
design.
To be forced to believe only one conclusion
- that everything in the universe happened by chance -
would violate the very objectivity of science itself." **

COMETS AND THE OORT CLOUD

 

Originally I was not going to say anything about Comets
because the Oort Cloud is one of those
"And Then A Miracle Occurs"
kind of things that evolutionists have made up.

The Oort Cloud is the invention of
Jan [pronounced, Yawn] Hendrick Oort
a Dutch astronomer who lived between 1900 and 1992.
Here is what Wikipedia has to say about the Oort Cloud:
"The Oort cloud...is a spherical cloud
of predominantly icy planetesimals [Comets]
that is believed to surround the Sun
at a distance up to 50,000 AU, nearly a light-year."
(emphasis ours)

However
when I see what evolutionists have written about
Comets and the Oort Cloud
it is so bizzare that I can not keep my fingers still!
They HAVE to type.
So here it is...

 

The fact is that there are short-period Comets
orbiting the sun.
A short-period Comet
is one that orbits the sun in less than 200 years.
Short-period Comets lose 0.5% of their mass
each time they come near the sun.
Therefore
after several hundred orbits around the sun
short-period Comets completely disintegrate.

At the present time
there are about 100 short-period Comets
in our solar system
many of which have a period of less than 20 years.
In other words, they orbit the sun in less than 20 years.

Comets are believed to have originated
at the same time as the solar system.

Therefore the fact that they still exist
points to a "young" solar system.

In order to have short-period Comets
in a really old universe
Jan Oort came up with his Oort Cloud THEORY.
The Oort Cloud is then essentially a "nursery"
where Comets are "born"
but remember
the Oort Cloud is just a
THEORY.

Evolutionists don't like anything
that shakes their THEORY of evolution
so this is what they have to say
about this whole short-period Comet problem:

"Creationism's main argument
seems to be that we don't have
close-up photos of the Oort Cloud and, therefore,
cannot be 100% certain that it really exists!
Sorry fellas, but if you want to use this comet argument
it is up to you to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt,
that the Oort Cloud and other sources don't exist!" *

Can you believe that?!
How can anyone prove the non-existence of something?

We could turn this around on the evolutionists
and other atheists
and demand that they prove
beyond a reasonable doubt
that God does not exist!

These things can't be done!

You can't prove the existence or non-existence
of the Oort Cloud
because it can't be seen
or photographed
or tested
or experienced
in any way shape or form!

And that is what SCIENCE is all about.

Google this:
"actual telescope photograph of Oort cloud"
and you will get close to 100,000 results.
I did not take the time to look at ALL of them
but the first page of results contained only
ARTISTS' CONCEPTIONS
of the Oort Cloud.
If there was a real actual telescope photograph
of the Oort Cloud
it would be on the first page.

Let me just say
my Google search does not mean
that there is NO Oort Cloud.
But if the Oort Cloud cannot be photographed
then it is just a
THEORY.

So let me repeat this:

IF YOU CAN'T
SEE IT
PHOTOGRAPH IT
TEST IT
EXPERIENCE IT
REPEAT IT
IT'S NOT SCIENCE!

So don't teach it to our kids as
SCIENTIFIC FACT

Just in case the website removes
this totally ridiculous statement
you can view a screen shot of it
HERE
I have outlined the statement
in yellow on the screen shot.


OORT CLOUD VS KUIPER BELT

Wikipedia has this to say about the Kuiper Belt:

"The Kuiper belt was initially thought to be the main repository for periodic comets, those with orbits lasting less than 200 years. However, studies since the mid-1990s have shown that the classical belt is dynamically stable, and that comets' true place of origin is the scattered disc, a dynamically active zone created by the outward motion of Neptune 4.5 billion years ago... The Kuiper belt should not be confused with the hypothesized Oort cloud, which is a thousand times more distant."

MOUNTAIN OF TROUBLE FOR EVOLUTION
is
MOUNTING EVIDENCE FOR CREATION / FLOOD

 

Evolution states that
Earth's continents were formed about
2 1/2 BILLION years ago.

But we see that continents and mountains constantly erode
by rivers carrying them into the sea.

So evolution claims that mountains still exist
because uplift (orogeny)
is constantly replacing them from below.

Then mountains would have been
eroded into the ocean and uplifted
many many many times in 2 1/2 BILLION years.

Evolution says, "Yeah. So what?"

Then why are there layers of sedimentary rocks
supposedly BILLIONS and BILLIONS of years old
still found in the mountains?

Evolution: "Oops!"


Creation / Flood account
maintains that sedimentary layers
formed during the Flood.
Mountains arose from Earth's orogenous zones
and carried with them sedimentary layers.
And now you see this EVIDENCE
of sedimentary layers in the mountains.
All of which are only several thousand years old.

A PRINCESS KISSING A FROG
AND TURNING IT INTO A PRINCE

is considered a childish fairy tale...

But replace the princess with "time" and it's science?

No way.

A frog will never turn into a prince.

Never in a million billion gazillion years!

APPARENT PROBLEMS WITH A YOUNG EARTH

 

* PROBLEM
OLD ROCKS ON A YOUNG EARTH

There are rocks on the Earth
that when dated using radiometric dating
are apparently billions of years old
on an Earth that is only several thousand years old.

There are several solutions to this problem.

1. God created the rocks a long long time
before He started the CREATION WEEK.
Genesis 1:2 says, "The earth was formless and void [empty],
and darkness was over the surface of the deep..."

So the rocks and the water could have been created by God
in the far distant past.
And then God came several thousand years ago and said,
"Let there be light"

2. There could be serious problems
with radiometric dating methods
being applied over VAST amounts of time
longer than several thousand years.

3. God could have created the rocks
with apparent age.

MOST LIKELY SOLUTION:
God created the rocks with apparent age.

After all, when God said to Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:28,
"Be fruitful an multiply, and fill the earth,
and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea
and over the birds of the sky
and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

He was not talking to one-day-old babies.
He had created Adam and Eve with
apparent age.

They were old enough to obey God's command,
"... and be fruitful and multiply ..."

And God was not talking about arithmetic!

 


 

* PROBLEM
STARLIGHT FROM STARS
THAT ARE BILLIONS OF LIGHT YEARS AWAY
BEING VISIBLE ON A YOUNG EARTH.

(Obviously the starlight could not have travelled
billions of years to reach the Earth
if the Earth and the Universe
were only several thousand years old.)

Possible solutions to this problem:

1. Genesis 1:16 says,
"God made the two great lights,
the greater light to govern the day,
and the lesser light to govern the night;
He made the stars also."

This could indicate that
He made the stars also,
but at a different time
in the far far distant past
and there would have been plenty of time
for their light to reach the place where the Earth would be created.

2. He could have made the stars also on day four
(which fits the wording of the text much better)
but He made them with apparent age.
In other words, He made the stars also
and He made the light all along their pathways to the Earth.

3. The speed of light is affected by gravity. So light travelling
intergalactically (between galaxies) could travel instantly.
Intragalactic (within a galaxy) light would travel a little slower.
Intrasolar (within a solar system) light would travel at 186,000 miles per second.

However:
Number 1 creates the problem of supernovas being seen recently.
If scenario 1 were correct, then the supernova would have
happened millions or billions of years ago, before man sinned.

Scenario 2 causes a problem with supernovas that we see currently,
never actually happened. They were just an illusion. This does NOT
seem like something God would do.

The most likely scenario is number 3.
Astrophysicists claim that black holes have such intense gravity
that even light cannot escape them. This would indicate that
gravity affects light. So out in intergalactic space
light could travel infinitely fast, and reach Earth instantly.

SO WE SEE THAT THESE PROBLEMS REALLY ARE ONLY APPARENT !
WHEN VIEWED IN THE CORRECT LIGHT, THEY SEEM TO HAVE DISAPPEARED
