Science Proves Religion

The Bible is not a science book by any means. Yet whenever it does mention something related to science, the statement always seems to be proven accurate. In fact, many believe that science is helping to prove the Bible to be true.

Hubert Spencer, a scientist, once gave the world five scientific principals by which man may study the unknown. Those principals are time, force, energy, space, and matter. These five principals coincide with the Genesis 1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The beginning equals time, God equals force, created equals energy, the heavens equal space and the earth equals matter. How could the writers of the Bible have known the five principals of science, or is it just mere coincidence? Another interesting fact is that man used to try and count the stars. They did so for hundreds of years. Around the 1900s man determined that the stars could not be counted. In Genesis 15:5 God tells Abraham that if a man can count the stars in the sky then he too will be able to count your descendants. God was stating that no one would ever be able to count the stars in the sky.

The book of Job offers a lot of interesting facts that coincide with science. Job 26:7 it reads, "He stretches out the north over empty space and he hangs the earth on nothing." This is very interesting because there is an area in the north where no stars or anything exists. It is simply empty space, but cannot be seen by the naked eye, only by telescope. The telescope was not invented at the time that this book was written so how could they have known? The rest of the verse that states the earth hangs on nothing is also scientifically correct, but the writers could not have known this at the time either. We all now know that the earth is held together by gravitational forces in space but how would people in Biblical times have known that?
