| Scientific Accuracy Of The Bible by Nobody: 6:10pm On Mar 19, 2016*. Modified: 6:36pm On Mar 19, 2016 |
Guys in my recent bible studies, I have discovered amazing scientific facts. This proves the bible is truly inspired of God. I will list each scientific facts and quote the bible passage where each can be found. 1. THE EARTH IS EXTENDED IN SPACE: It was once thought that the earth was held by something (a pillar) until science proved that the earth is extended in space. But the bible, the word of God had already proven that over 3000 years ago. This fact can be found in the book of Job "He stretches the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing" (Job 26:7) 2. THE AIR HAS WEIGHT AND WATER IS MADE UP OF MOLECULES Science says the air has weight and water is made up of molecules. The book of Job also proves it. "to establish a weight for the wind, and mete out the waters by measure" (Job 28:25). 3. THE EARTH IS ROUND The prophet Isaiah proved over 2700 years that the earth was round by writing this down: "It is He who sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22) 4. EVAPORATION AND CONDENSATION OCCUR "For He draws up drops of water, which distill as rain from the mist, which the clouds drop down and pour abundantly on man" (Job 36:27-28) 5. STARS EMIT RADIO WAVES Scientists have discovered that stars emit radio waves which are received as high pitch on earth. "When the morning stars sang for joy" (Job 38:7) 6. MATTER IS MADE UP OF INVISIBLE ATOMS AND PARTICLES The author of the book of Hebrews proved over 2000 years ago that invisible atoms and particles exist and every matter is made up of atoms and molecules. "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by God's word, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible" (Hebrews 11:3) 7. A LINE SEPERATES LIGHT FROM DARKNESS ON THE EARTH There is a line which seperates one side of the earth from the other. While one side of the earth experiences daytime, the other side is at nighttime. This line is probably the Greenwich Meridian. The bible also proves this miraculously. "He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, at the boundary of light and darkness " (Job 26:10) 8. THE EARTH ROTATES "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place, that it might take hold of the ends of the earth and the wicked are shaken out of it? It takes on form like clay under a seal, and stands out as a garment" (Job 38:12-14) Note: The bible compares daybreak to a clay under a seal. A clay under a seal rotates as a potter turns the wheel. This shows that sunrise and sunset is a result of earth's rotation. 9. THE SUN HAS ITS OWN ORBIT AND JOURNEY. "In them has He set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race. His [the sun's] going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. " (Psalm 19:4-6) It has been discovered recently that the sun has its own orbit round the solar system and that it takes the sun over 230 million years to complete its cycle round the solar system. It moves at 600,000 miles per hour. I have limited time now, I will post some more when I have time. |

Lots of reaching here. |

The same Bible that thinks it can cure leprosy with bird blood or heal snake bites with bronze statues? How about genetic breeding by mating animals in front of striped sticks? |

I must tell you the truth, YOU REALLY TRIED FOR THIS RESEARCH WORKS THAT YOU DID,MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOW |

lordnicklaus:I am always happy when religious books that claims first hand knowledge from the creator of the universe turns around and rely on mundane knowledge as that of science in order to validate their Holy books supposedly written by the creator of the universe ![]() It is also so funny when every jack and harry interprets what ever verse they want from their Holy book to mean what they want it to mean.. 1. THE EARTH IS EXTENDED IN SPACE:That the earth was afloat on space is not a recent knowledge, Sumerians had this figured out thousands of years before your bible was written. Most ancient civilizations had an impression of a circular flat earth afloat on nothing in the cosmos.. 2. THE AIR HAS WEIGHT AND WATER IS MADEOk this is funny.. 3. THE EARTH IS ROUNDYour bible verse says Circle not spherical which is wrong.. Circle and sphere are not the same thing... Just like every other ancient civilizations the ancient Hebrews also thought the earth was a circle disk. Circle is the geometric figure shaped in the form of a round plane whose boundary consists of points equidistant from a fixed point called the centre.. typical e.g is a Disk the earth is not Circle rather has an oblate spheroid shape.... Circle implies flat and that is so wrong!!! It's a SPHERE!! 4. EVAPORATION AND CONDENSATIONHere is the bible attributing evaporation to a deity drawing up water that is as wrong as say Neptune caused hurricanes.It didn't mention the SUN which is the cause of evaporation and that spells ignorance and superstitious rationalization. Employing a deity where they lack knowledge.. 5. STARS EMIT RADIO WAVESWho else cracked up here our OP just gave his marvelous interpretation of Singing stars to be emission of radio waves..Wow 6. MATTER IS MADE UP OF INVISIBLE ATOMSAtoms are visible if you look for them and for the record atom is not the most fundamental particle. there are several other particles smaller than the atom, so you may want to modify your interpretation sir 7. A LINE SEPERATES LIGHT FROM DARKNESSThere is never a permanent marker line of day and night, it moves along with the movement of the earth and it's position in orbit. There parts of earth that don't experience night at certain times...! 8. THE EARTH ROTATESOnce again another ignorant blunder from the bible which you missed. -Take a look at the coloured words, the earth is spherical so has no ends .... -only something flat can have edges and have things shaken off it.. The earth does not have edges, has no ends because it is a spherical body.... 9. THE SUN HAS ITS OWN ORBIT ANDThere is no where this verse ever mentions a solar orbit around the galaxy just another mesh of words you choose to interpret the way you want. [b]The bible like every other ancient literary works are constructs of humans, ancient humans but they are also intelligent. Ancient sumer measured the orbit of Jupiter accurately and also proposed a multi-planetary solar system, this doesn't mean any deity told them. The ancients are also humans and intelligent ones also, Science began from the ancient times NATURAL PHILOSOPHY they called it. that they have elementary knowledge is not a surprise neither does it mean a God that allegedly created the universe told them because with the outstanding mistakes and blunders found within the limits of their knowledge we can then conclude the God who allegedly created the cosmos and told these men about these things also is ignorant of what he created. Human intellect is ever developing and ever modifying with the advancement if human study.. No God told anybody anything because these elementary knowledge are bordered by limits of the level of their knowledge and riddled with mistakes. Don't jump up and down over nothing !!! [/b] |

More scientific facts 10. THE WIND HAS A CIRCUIT OR CYCLE "The wind goes toward the south, And turns around to the north; The wind whirls about continually, And comes again on its circuit." (Ecclesiastes 1:6) 11. NEANDERTHALS AND CAVE MEN ONCE EXISTED "They were driven out from among men, They shouted at them as at a thief. They had to live in the clefts of the valleys, In caves of the earth and the rocks." (Job 30:5-6) Science confirms that there were prehistoric men who dwelled in caves. 12. THERE IS RECIRCULATION OF WATER "All the rivers run into the sea, Yet the sea is not full; To the place from which the rivers come, There they return again." (Ecclesiastes 1:7) The bible also indirectly predicts the invention of automobile cars. "The shields of his mighty men are made red, the valiant men are in scarlet. The chariots come with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and his spears are brandished. The chariots rage in the streets, they jostle against one another in the broad roads; they seem like torches, they run like lightning." (Nahum 2:3-4) Note: It says "they jostle against one another in broad roads." This is also a prediction of automobile accidents and the term "broad roads" refer to "expressways" |

johnydon22:You only mock since you are ignorant of the languages in which the bible was written. The Hebrew word translated as "circle" is "khuwg" which actually means "ball" or something "round". Also the Hebrew word translated "end" also means "corner". It is rather absurd to mock something when you do not know the deeper meaning. Considering the second meaning of the word "khuwg" Isaiah can also be translated as "It is He who sits above the sphere of the earth" also the phrase "ends of the earth" can also mean "corners of the earth." And if the translation "end" is to be retained, then it is important to note that the Hebrew word "arets" which is translated as "earth" also means "land" or "country", so the phrase "ends of the earth" could also be translated as "ends of the land" or "ends of the country", so this does not imply a flat earth as you think. "Corners of the land" is also an accurate translation. |
| Re: Scientific Accuracy Of The Bible by johnydon22(m): 8:56pm On Mar 19, 2016 |
lordnicklaus:You are still gushing over the same ludicrous wrong assertions. . . even if it means Corners A sphere has no corner because it is a sphere for goodness sake.. It can never have a corner or edges or end or even a face. So a Sphere with Corners as you are saying the translations implies is also wrong and such a thing is impossible. End of a country, corners of a land are used to represent a small geographical mapped zone. The earth is not a small mapped out geographical area with boundary, the earth is spherical and cannot be said to have an edge, end, corner. Only a flat disk can have an end or edge or corner... The earth is spherical so you and your bible remains wrong... Take corrections and move on because your "original translation" defence still made matters worse.. |

.[size=18pt]..so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible"[/size]OK, whoever wrote this one was a deep thinker. I mean, invisible things are made of invisible parts Wow. Profound.How do you know that the visible thing was not coated with invisible paint? Hahaha. Carry on. Edit: Seen things are made of unseen parts. Got it. Did not read that correctly. But still a weak insight, to say the least. |

johnydon22:before you criticize the bible, you need to know what the original manuscript translated. When they say king james translation, what does it mean ? The original translation has NOTHING to do with conner. what these four "corners" refer to are the points of the compass , north, south, east, and west. In reality, the Hebrew word has nothing to do with corners at all. |

God makes two lights: "the greater light (the sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night" - Genesis 1:16.... But the moon is NOT a light, it only reflects light from the sun. And why, if God made the moon to "rule the night", does it spend half of its time moving through the daytime sky?... I bet performing all sort of mental gymnastics in the course of defending this to make the headfuck fit with the stance of orthodox science on it would do...? So much for "scientific accuracy"... |
| Re: Scientific Accuracy Of The Bible by Nobody: 7:56am On Mar 20, 2016 |
God curses the serpent. From now on the serpent will crawl on his belly and eat dust - Genesis 3:14... This makes one wonder how it got around before... maybe by hopping on its tail?... Okay, do snakes EAT DUST?... "scientific accuracy" |

Ayomikun37:Look, I know most of you are atheists, but you can't convert me to atheism because I have been a witness to many supernatural and spiritual happenings. Do not worry, when a witch curses you or when you see someone turn into a snake, then you would believe in God. Believe me, I have seen happenings more than the above mentioned. |
| Re: Scientific Accuracy Of The Bible by CoolUsername: 10:55am On Mar 21, 2016 |
lordnicklaus:Nobody is trying to deconvert you. They are just pointing out your flawed rationalizations of 'scientific facts' in the Bible and showing scientific inaccuracies of God's 'inerrant' word. Try this one for size: Egypt was a flourishing empire during the time of Noah's flood which supposedly destroyed everything, as a matter of fact, some pyramids were already under construction during that time but they didn't get wiped out. How do you reconcile that with your beliefs? |
| Re: Scientific Accuracy Of The Bible by Nobody: 2:34pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
lordnicklaus:You've SEEN a human transform into a snake? |
| Re: Scientific Accuracy Of The Bible by Nobody: 3:22pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
Ayomikun37:I have seen worse than that. I have seen a picture start burning for no reason and yet was not burnt. I have people being possessed. If you happen to visit my village, honestly you would have no choice but to believe in God cos' people in my village can perform evil magic to harm people. They can command a demon by simply pouring gin on the floor and chanting words and before you know it, someone is dead. An eagle has once transformed into an old woman and she was beaten mercilessly. Look! I love science very much and I am a science student but I respect Religion cos' I have experienced many things in this life that have helped me to believe there is a God. Cos if witches could exist and demon controllers could exist, what makes you think an all-powerful God doesn't exist. I have seen a man tell another person everything about his life and the person was wondering how he knew..... That man turned out to be a prophet from God!!!! |

| Re: Scientific Accuracy Of The Bible by Nobody: 3:29pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
CoolUsername:Lol! Noah's flood happened even before the oldest civilisations, Sumeria and Babylon were built. Before the flood, men dwelt in caves. The ancestor of the Egyptians, Mizraim, son of Cush, son of Ham was born after the flood. The pyramids were probably built by the slave Israelites. Anyone telling you that Egypt existed then is only fooling you...... Then tell me how Noah's ark was discovered on Mount Ararat between Armenia and Turkey and the ark is as large as 5 stadia. |

lordnicklaus:You seem to be mixing up fantasy with reality. Literal interpretation of the Bible sets the age of the earth as [url=creation.mobi/6000-years]6,000 years[/url]. The time of the flood is set at about 2,000 BC, but during that time Egypt was a flourishing and wealthy kingdom. Pick up a history textbook sometime, eh? Also, the 'ark' conundrum was a big hoax; for the sake of your reputation, please refrain from using that point in a serious argument from now on. [s]EDIT: Typed this with low battery, would cite sources later.[/s] EDIT #2: Sources added! |
| Re: Scientific Accuracy Of The Bible by Nobody: 9:04pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
CoolUsername:Those who calculated the age of the earth and call it bible based were wrong. The earth was created in 6000 b.c or more than that. The Tell el Amarna tablets prove that...... Anything that seems to prove you wrong becomes a hoax. Your mission, I know is to remove God from the minds of people. The time of the flood is quite older than 2,000 b.c. |

Ayomikun37:Well, God has given people the free will, you can chose to believe in Him or not, it's ur choice! But believe me you stand to gain more if you come to know that God actually cares even if you do not believe in Him!!! I have seen a lot in this life. I have once lived with a member of an occult group known as Brotherhood Of The Cross And Star........ Believe me, I saw a lot |
