Did you know the Bible was written by 40 or so men? It was written over a period of 2,000 years. It is a collection of 66 books. Yet clearly it is one book with perfect unity throughout. The individual writers of the books of the Bible could not have forseen this unity and consistency when they were writing.
Over 3,000 times the Bible states in various ways that it is devinely inspired. More than 300 prophesies were fulfilled by Christ The Creator Himself at his first coming.
No real mistake has ever been demonstrated in the Bible in science, in history, or in any other subject. Now review all of this information, and I think you must conclude the Bible is a miracle, i.e. a supernatural phenomenon.
Many principles of modern science were recorded as fact in the Bible long before they were discovered by experimental science. Some of these are:
1. Roundness of the earth. - Isiah 40:22 (see next page, now)
2. Almost infinite extent of the universe. - Isiah 55:9
3. Law of conservation of mass and energy - also known as the
First Law of Thermodynamics. - 2 Peter 3:7
4. Law of increasing entropy - also known as the Second Law
of Thermodynamics. - Psalm 102: 25-27.
5. The hydrologic cycle. - Ecclesiastes 1:7
6. The vast number of stars. - Jeremiah 33:22
7. The equivalence of matter and energy. - Einstein's famous
E=MC2 - Hebrews 1:3
8. The paramount importance of blood in life processes.
Leviticus 17:11
9. The atmospheric circulation. - Ecclesiastes 1:6
10. The gravitational and magnetic fields. Job 26:7
The one consistent theme of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation is God's great work in the creation and redemption of all things through his only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Can the Bible be given too much attention? The answer is no, because the Bible is God's way of speaking to us, and is the only absolute truth in the universe. Do we worship the Bible? No. We worship the one whom the Bible reveals. We must be very careful not to worship the Bible. That is what the pharasees did.
Remember the purpose of creation science is to strengthen your faith, and remove evolutionary thinking from the church.
