Scientific Accuracies Found Within The Bible

In this modern day most people will admit to not reading the bible as much as they should. I can't judge because I am right along side of them. However I do enjoy reading the inspirational words of my father. That being said, I love science as well. When hearing the words bible and science together most people think they are opposites. Either you are a person of faith or science. Well I am a person of both. I believe science and the bible go hand and hand. I believe more discoveries would be made if we seek the information in a bible as we do in a textbook. They are both written by humans so why is one “foolish” to use over the other? Below I have composed just a small list of science proven facts that were found in the bible way before science ever figured it out…

The Earth Free Floats In Space.

This can be found in Job 26:7, at this time many believed the Earth sat on the back of an elephant or turtle. Yet here it is.

The Earth is made of atoms.

In the 19th century science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

light has no shadow.

In 1 John 1:5 It is stated that light has no shadow. Ever held a match up against a wall? Theres no shadow… Try it.

We are made from dust on the ground.

Scientists have discovered that the human body is comprised of some 28 base and trace elements – all of which are found in the earth. This can be found in Genesis 2:7, 3:19. Also in Genesis 2:7 it goes on and says “then God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, which sounds like what we do in CPR to me.

Pangea is mentioned in the bible.

Pangea is the idea that all of the continents were once all connected at one point in time and the oceans were all connected surrounding it. Look at a world map the continents looks like puzzle pieces. Well in Genesis 1:9-10, the bible clearly states that was the case.

God then went on to talk about continental drift.

This can be found in Genesis 7:11.Today the study of the ocean floor indicates that the landmasses have been ripped apart. Scripture states that during the global Flood the “fountains of the great deep were broken up.” This cataclysmic event apparently resulted in the continental plates breaking and shifting. Like Scientists have strong evidence for.

So there is a small list of scientific accuracies in the bible. There are many more that can be listed, if you know one comment below. Sometimes the answers are right in front of us, we just have to know where were looking.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
