Scientists are beginning to understand that the universe is expanding, or stretching out. At least seven times in Scripture we are clearly told that God stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

The Bible knew, way before science did. ;)

This post will conclude the series, I hope anyone who has been following along, has enjoyed it.

May God Bless you.

Less than 200 years ago, through the advent of massive telescopes, science learned about the great empty space in the North.

We are told that God has measured the waters and set a proper amount of water on the Earth. Modern science has proved that the quantity of water on Earth is just enough for our needs. If the sea became three meters deeper, the water would absorb all the carbon dioxide and nitrogen, and no creature could live any longer.

This verse reveals that the female possesses the "seed of life." This was not the common knowledge until a few centuries ago. It was widely believed that the male only possessed the "seed of life" and that the woman was nothing more than a glorified incubator.

Why was circumcision to be carried out on the eighth day?

Medical science has discovered that the eighth day is the only day in the entire life of the newborn that the blood clotting element prothrombin is above 100%. Medical science has also discovered that this is when the human body's immune system is at it's peak.

And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the Earth; and the Heavens are the works of Your hands: They shall perish; but You remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment."

The Bible tells us that the Earth is wearing out, This is what the Second Law of Thermodynamics states. This wasn't discovered by science until comparatively recently.

The Hebrew word used here is the past definite tense for the verb "finished", indicating an action completed in the past, never again to occur.

The creation was "finished" once and for all. That is what the First Law of Thermodynamics says. It states that neither matter nor energy can be either created or destroyed.

There is no "creation" ongoing today. It is "finished" exactly as the Bible states.

It wasn't until the advent of the microscope that man discovered that each and every single snowflake is uniquely a symmetrical "treasure".

His [the suns] going forth is from the end of Heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."

Bible critics have scoffed at these verses, saying that they teach that the sun revolves around the Earth. Science told them that the sun was stationary. Then they discovered that the sun is in fact moving through space at approximately 600,000 miles per hour. It is traveling through the Heavens and has a "circuit" just as the Bible says. It is estimated that its circuit is so large, it would take 200 million years to complete one orbit.

It [the Earth] is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment."

Modern science has come to understand that the Earths rotation on it's axis is responsible for the suns rising and setting. The picture here is of a vessel of clay being turned or rotated upon the potters wheel, an accurate analogy of the Earths rotation.

The Mississippi River dumps over six million gallons of water per second into the Gulf of Mexico. Where does all the water go? That's just one of thousands of rivers.

The answer lies in the hydrologic cycle, something that was not fully accepted until the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, 2500 years after the Bible said that God takes the water of the seas, and pours them upon the face of the Earth.

When Jonah was in the depths of the ocean, he spoke of going down to the "bottoms of the mountains." only in recent years has man discovered that there are mountains on the ocean floor.

The greatest ocean depth has been sounded in the Challenger Deep of the Mariana's Trench, a distance of 35,798 feet below sea level. Mount Everest is 29,035 feet high.

What does the Bible mean by "paths" of the seas?

The sea is just a huge mass of water, how then could it have paths?

Man discovered the existence of ocean currents in the 1850's, but the Bible declared the science of oceanography 2800 years ago.

Matthew Maury (1806-1873) is considered to be the father of oceanography. He was bedridden during a serious illness and asked his son to read a portion of the Bible to him. While listening, he noticed the expression "paths of the sea." Upon his recovery, Maury took God at His Word and went looking for these paths. His book on oceanography is still considered a basic text on the subject and is still used in universities.

God Himself is speaking): "Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eats grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navelof his belly. He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God: He that made him can make his swordto approach unto him. Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of teh field play. He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastens not: he trusts that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He takes it with his eyes: his nose pierces through snares.

This was the largest of all creatures He made.

It was plant-eating (herbivorous).

It had it's strength in it's hips.

It's tail was like a large tree (Cedar).

It had very strong bones.

It's habitat was among the trees.

Drank massive amounts of water.

His nose pierced through snares.

Then scripture says, "...He that made him can make his sword approach to him."

In other words, God caused this, the largest of all the creatures He had made, to become extinct. ;) ]]> risun7 http://bibleforums.org/entry.php/1103-The-Bible-and-Dinosaurs http://bibleforums.org/entry.php/1102-Time-Space-Matter-Power-and-Motion Thu, 11 Dec 2008 11:06:51 GMT Genisis 1:1,3 (Written 3450 years ago): "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth...And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

Science expresses the universe in five terms: time, space, matter, power and motion.
