My thoughts exactly!
My thoughts exactly!
The Bible is Consistent!The Bible is Consistent!
Written over a vast period with many different authors,
languages, political situations . . .
It all flows because it’s God’s book not man’s!
The Bible makes statements that can be
tested for accuracy through history,
science, archeology etc.
Yay! We’re to the Best Part of this Class!!!
We now know that the human body is made of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, iron , etc.
Guess what else has all that stuff in it?
That’s right! The dust of the ground!!!
It says we can find it at the intersection of the Tigris, Euphrates, Pishon, and Gihon rivers
Which 2 are easily found, today? Which was recently discovered
to be a dry river bed still existing, today?
Tigris
Euphrates
Dry River Bed of Pishon
Discovered by this Satellite
Image!!!
It’s supposed to surround the land of Kush in Ethiopia!
Ethiopia
Persian Gulf
Eden?
“Ksh” The interpreter chose “Kush”
Archaeologists have discovered that a people known as the
“Kashshites” around the Karun River!
So, it should possibly have been: Kush or Kash
Karun
The Karun/Gihon surrounded the Land of Kash & intersects with the other 3 rivers
. . . Just like the Bible says!
The Back of an enormous turtle,
elephant etc.
Job 26:7 “He hangeth the earth upon nothing! Science backs up the Bible
again!
THE WORLD HAS TO SIT ON SOMETHING!!!
LIFE HAD TO START FROM SOMETHING!!!
The world can’t just hang in the air on nothing!!!
Let’s guess what it sits on
Hmm . . . A turtle, an elephant etc.
Anything but saying God hung it on nothing!
The world can’t just have started from nothing!!!
Let’s guess what it started from
Hmm . . . matter evolved, matter had the Big Bang etc.
Anything but saying God created it from nothing!
Finally, science forced them to see
that it is round
Many critics say that it does
For centuries, before anyone else caught on – the Bible said the earth was round:
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a
curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell
in.
Finally, science forced them to see that the earth rotates around
the sun
Psalm 19:6Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the
other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
Look again at the words of the verse: “Its rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;” It’s not saying the sun moves around the
earth but that the sun moves across the heavens
God speaks to us from our vantage point, remember?
To us, it looks like the sun moves across the sky – so, that’s how he speaks to us
Astronomers have discovered that the entire solar system (including the sun) is in a long orbit through the galaxy and across the heavens
It took humans a long time to see that their science matches God’s Word but (as usual) it does once we finally see it
The Catholic Church used to condemn Galileo for saying that the sun was the center of the universe but they DID NOT GET THE IDEA FROM THE BIBLE
The belief that the Earth is the Center of the universe was proposed by a Greek Pagan named Aristotle
The Hydrologic Cycle (Eccl. 1:6-7, Amos 5:8):
Blowing toward the south, Then turning toward the north,
The wind continues swirling along; And on its circular courses the wind
returns. All the rivers flow into the sea,
Yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow,
There they flow again.
Another ScientificallyAccurate Statement in the Bible

“[. . .] make them into bread for yourself; you shall eat it according to the number of the days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days’”
Wouldn’t Ezekiel have died?
Whenever you see 3 dots in a text that mean that something was skipped: See?
The skipped part was a special bread recipe: “But as for you, take wheat,
barley, beans, lentils, millet and spelt, put them in one vessel and make them
into bread for yourself;” Turns out the bread made of these ingredients “is 84.3% as efficient as the
highest recognized source of protein!
The bread contains all 8 of the essential amino acids! What’s more, there are 18 amino acids present in
this unusual bread! They actually sell this bread in health
food stores. No, not that everything in those stores is biblical but it goes to show that even pagans can recognize a
good healthy recipe in the Bible when they see one!
Now the man called his wife’s name
Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.
. . .
In Chapter Two we learned that every human cell contains
mitochondria, inherited almost entirely from the individual’s mother
Molecular biologists have examined mitochondria from people in various places around the world and have concluded that every living human
is descended from one woman(Newsweek 1988a, 46-52)
Of course they say she lived about 200,000 years ago because they
make a guess at how fast mutations occur
Although 200,000 is just a GUESS, the fact that Newsweek admits we all came from one woman is pretty
satisfying to hear!
