THE BIBLE REVEALS MANY AMAZING SCIENTIFIC FACTS LONG BEFORE HUMANS DISCOVERED AND CONFIRMED THEIR VALIDITY!
OCEAN SPRINGS ...
GOD FLOODED THE EARTH, IN NOAH'S TIME, THROUGH, " . . . ALL THE FOUNTAINS OF THE GREAT DEEP WERE BROKEN UP" (GENESIS 7:11, SEE ALSO JOB 38:16). THE WORD "FOUNTAINS" COMES FROM THE HEBREW WORD WHICH MEANS WELLS OR SPRINGS. SUCH DEEP JETS OF WATER WERE DISCOVERED BY SCIENCE MORE THAN 3,300 YEARS AFTER MOSES WROTE ABOUT THEM IN GENESIS!
WIND CURRENTS ...
KING SOLOMON, MORE THAN 2,900 YEARS AGO, WROTE, "THE WIND GOES TOWARD THE SOUTH, AND IT TURNS AROUND TO THE NORTH (A CLOCKWISE ROTATION!); IT WHIRLS AROUND CONTINUALLY; AND THE WIND RETURNS ON ITS CIRCUITS" (ECCLESIASTES 1:6).
THE EARTH'S CONTINUOUS WIND (AND OCEAN) CURRENTS TRAVEL IN A CLOCKWISE PATTERN (E.G. THE GULF STREAM) IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. THIS PATTERN WAS NOT BEGUN TO BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD BY SCIENCE UNTIL THE EARLY PART OF THE 19TH CENTURY A.D.
HELD UP BY NOTHING ...
JOB, THE BIBLE'S OLDEST BOOK WRITTEN 3,600+ YEARS AGO, REVEALS A FASCINATING FACT ABOUT THE EARTH. IN HIS BOOK HE WROTE, "HE (GOD) STRETCHES OUT THE NORTH OVER THE EMPTY SPACE, AND HE HUNG THE EARTH ON NOTHING" (JOB 26:7).
IT TOOK ISAAC NEWTON, IN HIS GROUNDBREAKING WORK ENTITLED "MATHEMATICAL PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY" IN 1687 A.D., FOR SCIENCE TO BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND GRAVITY AND ITS EFFECTS ON PLANETARY OBJECTS. HIS WORK, MORE THAN THREE MILLENNIA AFTER JOB'S WRITING, SHOWED HOW THE EARTH "HANGS" IN SPACE WITH NO VISIBLE MEANS OF SUPPORT!
