Third, science, history and archeology continually prove the authenticity of the Bible. For years it was believed that the Bible was in error and that there was no such thing as the Hittites. That was until archeology discovered their capital city and found their records. The Bible is the only book that hangs its credibility on its ability to write history in advance – without any error. Let us now look at a few proofs from science. Years ago, this is what “science” believed (because it didn’t trust the Bible):
- the earth was flat
- only 1,100 stars
- earth sat on a large animal
- science was ignorant on the subject of invisible elements in creation
- all stars were the same
- light was fixed in a place
- air was weightless
- winds blew straight
- sick people must be bled (This is how one of the Presidents died.)
- the ocean floor was flat
- oceans fed only by rivers and rain
- hands washed in still water
This is what science knows today (and the passage of Scripture it is found in):
- the earth is a sphere (Isaiah 40:22)
- incalculable number of stars (Jeremiah 33:22)
- free float of earth in space (Job 26:7)
- creation made of invisible elements – atoms (Hebrews 11:3)
- each star is different (1 Corinthians 15:41)
- light moves (Job 38:19-20)
- air has weight (Job 28:25)
- winds blow in cyclones (Ecclesiastes 1:6)
- blood is the source of life and health (Leviticus 17:11)
- ocean floor contains deep valleys and mountains (2 Samuel 22:16; Jonah 2:6)
- ocean contains springs (Job 38:6)
- when dealing with disease, hands should be washed under running water (Leviticus 15:13)
Bear in mind that parts of the Bible were written 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. When you begin quoting this information to the “intellectual,” do you think he will be interested in debating more “science” versus true science and the Bible? You could confidently challenge your mockers that if they can prove intelligent design to be wrong, that you’ll award them with $10,000 (Kent Hovind offers $250,000). They will never prove it.
Let us look at some more true scientific facts. They are as follows:
Let us look at some more true scientific facts. They are as follows:
- the sun burns off tons of gas every day – If you look up the rate at which the sun is burning off gas per day and multiply it not even by 1 million years, at one point the sun was so big that it would have touched the Earth. Therefore, the dinosaurs fried to death.
- the moon is moving away from the Earth – If you take the rate at which the moon is moving away from the Earth and multiply it not even by 1 million years, at one point the moon was just hovering over the face of the Earth. Therefore, the dinosaurs got mooned. If you half the distance, you quadruple the effect. The Earth would have been flooded twice a day because of the moon’s effects.
- the Earth is slowing down – If you take the rate at which the Earth is slowing down and multiply it not even by 1 million years, at one time the Earth would have been spinning at a tremendous rate. Therefore, the dinosaurs were thrown off into space. One person tried telling me that gravity would have been increased. No, it would not have. Tell them to study a merry-go-round. The faster that thing is going, you do not get sucked to the center. You are thrown off. You can learn some great science from a merry-go-round.
A further example of true science you can mention is the fact that the nucleus has the properties of expulsion. It pushes outward. Yet, everything in creation is held together. Why is that? Scientists cannot answer why that is. “In Him all things hold together” Colossians 1:17.
You see, the facts are simple. It takes far more faith to believe in evolution than it does for the Christian to believe in God. Even a child recognizes there is a Creator. Creation is God’s great big cosmic “Duh!” The evidence is overwhelming in support of creation and the existence of God. There is zero evidence to support evolution (unless speaking of micro-evolution – changes within a kind; i.e. Chihuahua, Doberman and Poodle are all one kind of animal). Micro-evolution is the adaptations and changes within a species, while macro-evolution is the addition of new traits or a transition to a new species. Macro-evolution has never been observed. It is a myth. A giraffe has never given birth to a flamingo, nor can you breed a dog and a cat together. Animals reproduce after their own kind. If the Earth were millions of years old and if evolution had a shred of truth to it, we would find thousands of fossil remains for transitional species (a mouse turning into an elephant). Yet, there is not even one! There has never been a single entity found in transition. According to Darwinian evolution, bananas and dogs have the same ancestor. Yet Darwin admitted, “To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”
