101 Scientific Facts & Foreknowledge that Only God could have known written in the Bible thousands of years ago

******************** 101 Scientific Facts & Foreknowledge

Psalm 19:1-3 – The heavens declare the glory of God; and the

firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night

reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not

heard.

Jeremiah 10:12 –

He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom,

and has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.

1.

The earth free-floats in space (Job 26:7), affected only by

gravity. While other sources declared the earth sat on the back of an elephant

or turtle, or was held up by Atlas, the Bible alone states what we now know to

be true – “He hangs the earth on nothing.”

2.

Creation is made of particles, indiscernible to our eyes

(Hebrews 11:3). Not until the 19th century was it discovered that all visible

matter consists of invisible elements.

3.

The Bible specifies the perfect dimensions for a stable

water vessel (Genesis 6:15). Ship

builders today are well aware that the ideal dimension for ship stability is a

length six times that of the width. Keep in mind, God told Noah the ideal

dimensions for the ark 4,500 years ago.

4.

When dealing with disease, clothes and body should be washed

under running water (Leviticus 15:13).

For centuries people naively washed in standing water. Today we recognize the

need to wash away germs with fresh water.

5.

Sanitation industry birthed (Deuteronomy 23:12-13). Some 3,500 years ago God commanded

His people to have a place outside the camp where they could relieve

themselves. They were to each carry a shovel so that they could dig a hole

(latrine) and cover their waste. Up until World War I, more soldiers died from

disease than war because they did not isolate human waste.

6.

Oceans contain springs (Job 38:16). The ocean is very deep.

Almost all the ocean floor is in total darkness and the pressure there is

enormous. It would have been impossible for Job to have explored the

"springs of the sea." Until recently, it was thought that oceans were

fed only by rivers and rain. Yet in the 1970s, with the help of deep diving

research submarines that were constructed to withstand 6,000

pounds-per-square-inch pressure, oceanographers discovered springs on the ocean

floors!

******************* HEY! DID JOB HAVE A SUB? MAYBE HE WAS A SCUBA DIVER?
Or
Maybe God had told him. Job is the oldest book of the Bible and Man
could not have known that ( # 6 above) Unless God had told him

7.

There are mountains on the bottom of the ocean floor (Jonah

2:5-6). Only in the last century have we discovered that there are towering

mountains and deep trenches in the depths of the sea.

8.

Joy and gladness understood (Acts 14:17). Evolution cannot explain emotions. Matter and

energy do not feel. Scripture explains that God places gladness in our hearts

(Psalm 4:7), and ultimate joy is found only in our Creator’s presence – “in

Your presence is fullness of joy” (Psalm 16:11).

9.

Blood is the source of life and health (Leviticus 17:11; 14). Up until 120 years ago, sick

people were “bled” and many died as a result (e.g. George Washington). Today we

know that healthy blood is necessary to bring life-giving nutrients to every

cell in the body. God declared that “the life of the flesh is in the blood”

long before science understood its function.

10.

The Bible states that God created life according to kinds

(Genesis 1:24). The fact that God

distinguishes kinds, agrees with what scientists observe – namely that there

are horizontal genetic boundaries beyond which life cannot vary. Life produces

after its own kind. Dogs produce dogs, cats produce cats, roses produce roses.

Never have we witnessed one kind changing into another kind as evolution

supposes. There are truly natural limits to biological change.

11.

Noble behavior understood (John 15:13; Romans 5:7-8). The Bible and history reveal that

countless people have endangered or even sacrificed their lives for another.

This reality is completely at odds with Darwin’s

theory of the survival of the fittest.

12.

Chicken or egg dilemma solved (Genesis 1:20-22). Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This

question has plagued philosophers for centuries. The Bible states that God

created birds with the ability to reproduce after their kind. Therefore the

chicken was created first with the ability to make eggs! Yet, evolution has no

solution for this dilemma.

13.

Which came first, proteins or DNA

(Revelation 4:11)? For

evolutionists, the chicken or egg dilemma goes even deeper. Chickens consist of

proteins. The code for each protein is contained in the DNA/RNA

system. However, proteins are required in order to manufacture DNA.

So which came first: proteins or DNA? The

ONLY explanation is that they were created together.

14.

Our bodies are made from the dust of the ground (Genesis

2:7; 3:19). Scientists have

discovered that the human body is comprised of some 28 base and trace elements

– all of which are found in the earth.

15.

The First Law of Thermodynamics established (Genesis 2:1-2).

The First Law states that the total quantity of energy and matter in the

universe is a constant. One form of energy or matter may be converted into

another, but the total quantity always remains the same. Therefore the creation

is finished, exactly as God said way back in Genesis.

16.

The first three verses of Genesis accurately express all

known aspects of the creation (Genesis 1:1-3). Science expresses the universe

in terms of: time, space, matter, and energy. In Genesis chapter one we read:

“In the beginning (time) God created the heavens (space) and the earth

(matter)…Then God said, “Let there be light (energy).” No other creation

account agrees with the observable evidence.

17.

The universe had a beginning (Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 1:10-12). Starting with the studies of Albert

Einstein in the early 1900s and continuing today, science has confirmed the

biblical view that the universe had a beginning. When the Bible was written

most people believed the universe was eternal. Science has proven them wrong,

but the Bible correct.

18.

The earth is a sphere (Isaiah 40:22). At a time when many

thought the earth was flat, the Bible told us that the earth is spherical.

19.

Scripture assumes a revolving (spherical) earth (Luke 17:34-36). Jesus said that at His return some

would be asleep at night while others would be working at day time activities

in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night

occurring simultaneously.

20.

Origin of the rainbow explained (Genesis 9:13-16). Prior to the Flood there was a

different environment on the earth (Genesis 2:5-6). After the Flood, God set

His rainbow “in the cloud” as a sign that He would never again judge the earth

by water. Meteorologists now understand that a rainbow is formed when the sun

shines through water droplets – which act as a prism – separating white light

into its color spectrum.

21.

Light can be divided (Job 38:24). Sir Isaac Newton studied

light and discovered that white light is made of seven colors, which can be

“parted” and then recombined. Science confirmed this four centuries ago – God

declared this four millennia ago!

22.

Ocean currents anticipated (Psalm 8:8). Three thousand years

ago the Bible described the “paths of the seas.” In the 19th century Matthew

Maury – the father of oceanography – after reading Psalm 8, researched and

discovered ocean currents that follow specific paths through the seas!

Utilizing Maury’s data, marine navigators have since reduced by many days the

time required to traverse the seas.

23.

Sexual promiscuity is dangerous to your health (1

Corinthians 6:18; Romans 1:27). The Bible warns that “he who commits

sexual immorality sins against his own body,” and that those who commit

homosexual sin would “receive in themselves” the penalty of their error. Much

data now confirms that any sexual relationship outside of holy matrimony is

unsafe.

24.

Reproduction explained (Genesis 1:27-28; 2:24;

Mark 10:6-8). While evolution has no mechanism to explain how male and female

reproductive organs evolved at the same time, the Bible says that from the

beginning God made them male and female in order to propagate the human race

and animal kinds.

25.

Incalculable number of stars (Jeremiah 33:22). At a time

when less than 5,000 stars were visible to the human eye, God stated that the

stars of heaven were innumerable. Not until the 17th century did Galileo

glimpse the immensity of our universe with his new telescope. Today,

astronomers estimate that there are ten thousand billion trillion stars –

that’s a 1 followed by 25 zeros! Yet, as the Bible states, scientists admit

this number may be woefully inadequate.

26.

The number of stars, though vast, are finite (Isaiah 40:26).

Although man is unable to calculate the exact number of stars, we now know

their number is finite. Of course God knew this all along – “He counts the

number of the stars; He calls them all by name” (Psalm 147:4). What an awesome

God!

27.

The Bible compares the number of stars with the number of

grains of sand on the seashore (Genesis 22:17;

Hebrews 11:12). Amazingly, gross

estimates of the number of sand grains are comparable to the estimated number

of stars in the universe.

28.

Rejecting the Creator results in moral depravity (Romans 1:20-32). The Bible warns that when mankind

rejects the overwhelming evidence for a Creator, lawlessness will result. Since

the theory of evolution has swept the globe, abortion, pornography, genocide,

etc., have all risen sharply.

29.

The fact that God once flooded the earth (the Noahic Flood)

would be denied (2 Peter 3:5-6). There is a mass of fossil evidence to prove

this fact, yet it is flatly ignored by most of the scientific world because it

was God’s judgment on man’s wickedness.

30.

Vast fossil deposits anticipated (Genesis 7). When plants

and animals die they decompose rapidly. Yet billions of life forms around the

globe have been preserved as fossils. Geologists now know that fossils only

form if there is rapid deposition of life buried away from scavengers and

bacteria. This agrees exactly with what the Bible says occurred during the

global Flood.

31.

The continents were created as one large land mass (Genesis

1:9-10). Many geologists agree there is strong evidence that the earth was

originally one super continent – just as the Bible said way back in Genesis.

32.

Continental drift inferred (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.

33.

Ice Age inferred (Job 38:29-30). Prior to the global Flood

the earth was apparently subtropical. However shortly after the Flood, the

Bible mentions ice often – “By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad

waters are frozen” (Job 37:10). Evidently the Ice Age occurred in the centuries

following the Flood.

34.

Life begins at fertilization (Jeremiah 1:5). God declares

that He knew us before we were born. The biblical penalty for murdering an

unborn child was death (Exodus 21:22-23).

Today, it is an irrefutable biological fact that the fertilized egg is truly an

entire human being. Nothing will be added to the first cell except nutrition

and oxygen.

35.

God fashions and knits us together in the womb (Job 10:8-12;

31:15). Science was ignorant concerning embryonic development until recently.

Yet many centuries ago, the Bible accurately described God making us an

“intricate unity” in the womb.

36.

DNA anticipated (Psalm

139:13-16). During the 1950s, Watson and Crick discovered the genetic blueprint

for life. Three thousand years ago the Bible seems to reference this written

digital code in Psalm 139 – “Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being

unperfect [unformed]; and in Thy book all my members were written, which in

continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”

37.

God has created all mankind from one blood (Acts 17:26; Genesis 5). Today researchers have

discovered that we have all descended from one gene pool. For example, a 1995

study of a section of Y chromosomes from 38 men from different ethnic groups

around the world was consistent with the biblical teaching that we all come

from one man (Adam)

38.

Origin of the major language groups explained (Genesis 11).

After the rebellion at Babel, God

scattered the people by confounding the one language into many languages.

Evolution teaches that we all evolved from a common ancestor, yet offers no

mechanism to explain the origin of the thousands of diverse languages in

existence today.

39.

Origin of the different “races” explained (Genesis 11). As

Noah’s descendants migrated around the world after Babel,

each language group developed distinct features based on environment and

genetic variation. Those with a genetic makeup suitable to their new

environment survived to reproduce. Over time, certain traits (such as dark skin

color for those closer to the equator) dominated. Genesis alone offers a

reasonable answer to the origin of the races and languages.

40.

God has given us the leaves of the trees as medicine

(Ezekiel 47:12; Revelation 22:2). Ancient cultures utilized many herbal

remedies. Today, modern medicine has rediscovered what the Bible has said all

along – there are healing compounds found in plants.

41.

Healthy dietary laws (Leviticus 11:9-12). Scripture states

that we should avoid those sea creatures which do not have fins or scales. We

now know that bottom-feeders (those with no scales or fins) tend to consume

waste and are likely to carry disease.

42.

The Bible warns against eating birds of prey (Leviticus 11:13-19). Scientists now recognize that those

birds which eat carrion (putrefying flesh), often spread disease.

43.

Avoid swine (Deuteronomy 14:8). Not so long ago, science

learned that eating undercooked pork causes an infection of parasites called

trichinosis. Now consider this: the Bible forbid the eating of swine more than

3,000 years before we learned how to cook pork safely.

44.

Radical environmentalism foreseen (Romans 1:25). Two thousand years ago, God’s Word

stated that many would worship and serve creation rather than the Creator.

Today, nature is revered as “Mother” and naturalism is enshrined.

45.

Black holes and dark matter anticipated (Matthew 25:30; Jude

1:13; Isaiah 50:3). Cosmologists now

speculate that over 98% of the known universe is comprised of dark matter, with

dark energy and black holes. A black hole’s gravitational field is so strong

that nothing, not even light, escapes. Beyond the expanding universe there is

no measured radiation and therefore only outer darkness exists. These theories

paint a seemingly accurate description of what the Bible calls “outer darkness”

or “the blackness of darkness forever.”

46.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Entropy) explained (Psalm

102:25-26). This law states that everything in the universe is running down,

deteriorating, constantly becoming less and less orderly. Entropy (disorder)

entered when mankind rebelled against God – resulting in the curse (Genesis

3:17; Romans 8:20-22). Historically most people believed the universe was

unchangeable. Yet modern science verifies that the universe is “grow(ing) old

like a garment” (Hebrews 1:11).

Evolution directly contradicts this law.

47.

Cain’s wife discovered (Genesis 5:4). Skeptics point out

that Cain had no one to marry – therefore the Bible must be false. However, the

Bible states plainly that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters. Cain

married his sister.

48.

Incest laws established (Leviticus 18:6). To marry near of

kin in the ancient world was common. Yet, beginning about 1500 B.C., God forbid

this practice. The reason is simple – the genetic mutations (resulting from the

curse) had a cumulative effect. Though Cain could safely marry his sister

because the genetic pool was still relatively pure at that time, by Moses’ day

the genetic errors had swelled. Today, geneticists confirm that the risk of

passing on a genetic abnormality to your child is much greater if you marry a

close relative because relatives are more likely to carry the same defective

gene. If they procreate, their offspring are more apt to have this defect

expressed.

49.

Genetic mixing of different seeds forbidden (Leviticus 19:19; Deuteronomy 22:9). The Bible warns

against mixing seeds – as this will result in an inferior or dangerous crop.

There is now growing evidence that unnatural, genetically engineered crops may

be harmful.

50.

Hydrological cycle described (Ecclesiastes 1:7; Jeremiah 10:13; Amos 9:6). Four thousand years ago the

Bible declared that God “draws up drops of water, which distill as rain from

the mist, which the clouds drop down and pour abundantly on man” (Job

36:27-28). The ancients observed mighty rivers flowing into the ocean, but they

could not conceive why the sea level never rose. Though they observed rainfall,

they had only quaint theories as to its origin. Meteorologists now understand

that the hydrological cycle consists of evaporation, atmospheric

transportation, distillation, and precipitation.

51.

The sun goes in a circuit (Psalm 19:6). Some scientists

scoffed at this verse thinking that it taught geocentricity – the theory that

the sun revolves around the earth. They insisted the sun was stationary.

However, we now know that the sun is traveling through space at approximately

600,000 miles per hour. It is literally moving through space in a huge circuit

– just as the Bible stated 3,000 years ago!

52.

Circumcision on the eighth day is ideal (Genesis 17:12; Leviticus 12:3; Luke 1:59). Medical science has discovered that the

blood clotting chemical prothrombin peaks in a newborn on the eighth day. This

is therefore the safest day to circumcise a baby. How did Moses know?!

53.

God has given us just the right amount of water to sustain

life (Isaiah 40:12). We now recognize that if there was significantly more or

less water, the earth would not support life as we know it.

54.

The earth was designed for biological life (Isaiah 45:18).

Scientists have discovered that the most fundamental characteristics of our

earth and cosmos are so finely tuned that if just one of them were even

slightly different, life as we know it couldn't exist. This is called the

Anthropic Principle and it agrees with the Bible which states that God formed

the earth to be inhabited.

55.

The universe is expanding (Job 9:8; Isaiah 42:5; Jeremiah

51:15; Zechariah 12:1). Repeatedly God declares that He stretches out the

heavens. During the early 20th century, most scientists (including Einstein)

believed the universe was static. Others believed it should have collapsed due

to gravity. Then in 1929, astronomer Edwin Hubble showed that distant galaxies

were receding from the earth, and the further away they were, the faster they

were moving. This discovery revolutionized the field of astronomy. Eisntein

admitted his mistake, and today most astronomers agree with what the Creator

told us millennia ago – the universe is expanding!

56.

Law of Biogenesis explained (Genesis 1). Scientists observe

that life only comes from existing life. This law has never been violated under

observation or experimentation (as evolution imagines). Therefore life, God’s

life, created all life.

57.

Animal and plant extinction explained (Jeremiah 12:4; Hosea

4:3). According to evolution, occasionally we should witness a new kind

springing into existence. Yet, this has never been observed. On the contrary,

as Scripture explains, since the curse on all creation, we observe death and

extinction (Romans 8:20-22).

58.

Light travels in a path (Job 38:19). Light is said to have a

“way” [Hebrew: derek, literally a traveled path or road]. Until the 17th

century it was believed that light was transmitted instantaneously. We now know

that light is a form of energy that travels at ~186,000 miles per second in a

straight line. Indeed, there is a “way” of light.

59.

Air has weight (Job 28:25). It was once thought that air was

weightless. Yet 4,000 years ago Job declared that God established “a weight for

the wind.” In recent years, meteorologists have calculated that the average

thunderstorm holds thousands of tons of rain. To carry this load, air must have

mass.

60.

Jet stream anticipated (Ecclesiastes 1:6). At a time when it

was thought that winds blew straight, the Bible declares “The wind goes toward

the south, and turns around to the north; The wind whirls about continually,

and comes again on its circuit.” King Solomon wrote this 3,000 years ago. Now

consider this: it was not until World War II that airmen discovered the jet

stream circuit.

61.

Medical quarantine instituted (Leviticus 13:45-46; Numbers 5:1-4). Long before man

understood the principles of quarantine, God commanded the Israelites to

isolate those with a contagious disease until cured.

62.

Each star is unique (1 Corinthians 15:41). Centuries before the advent of the telescope, the

Bible declared what only God and the angels knew – each star varies in size and

intensity!

63.

The Bible says that light can be sent, and then manifest

itself in speech (Job 38:35). We now know that radio waves and light waves are

two forms of the same thing – electromagnetic waves. Therefore, radio waves are

a form of light. Today, using radio transmitters, we can send “lightnings”

which indeed speak when they arrive.

64.

Laughter promotes physical healing (Proverbs 17:22). Recent studies confirm what King

Solomon was inspired to write 3,000 years ago, “A merry heart does good, like

medicine.” For instance, laughter reduces levels of certain stress hormones.

This brings balance to the immune system, which helps your body fight off

disease.

65.

Intense sorrow or stress is harmful to your health (Proverbs

18:14; Mark 14:34). Researchers have studied individuals with no prior

medical problems who showed symptoms of stress cardiomyopathy including chest

pain, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, and even heart failure –

following a stressful incident.

66.

Microorganisms anticipated (Exodus 22:31). The Bible warns “Whatever dies naturally or is

torn by beasts he shall not eat, to defile himself with it: I am the LORD”

(Leviticus 22:8). Today we understand that a decaying carcass is full of

disease causing germs.

67.

The Bible cautions against consuming fat (Leviticus 7:23). Only in recent decades has the medical

community determined that fat clogs arteries and contributes to heart disease.

68.

Do not consume blood (Leviticus 17:12). A common ritual in many religions in the ancient

world was to drink blood. However, the Creator repeatedly told His people to

abstain from blood (Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 3:17;

Acts 15:20; 21:25). Of course, modern science reveals that consuming

raw blood is dangerous.

69.

The Bible describes dinosaurs (Job 40:15-24). In 1842, Sir

Richard Owen coined the word dinosaur, meaning “terrible lizard,” after

discovering large reptilian-like fossils. However in the Book of Job, written

4,000 years earlier, God describes the behemoth as: the largest of all land

creatures, plant eating (herbivore), with great strength in its hips and legs,

powerful stomach muscles, a tail like a cedar tree, and bones like bars of

iron. This is an accurate description of sauropods – the largest known dinosaur

family.

70.

Pleasure explained (Psalm 36:8). Evolution cannot explain

pleasure – even the most complex chemicals do not experience bliss. However,

the Bible states that God “gives us richly all things to enjoy” (1 Timothy 6:17). Pleasure is a gift from God.

71.

Life is more than matter and energy (Genesis 2:7; Job

12:7-10). We know that if a creature is denied air it dies. Even though its

body may be perfectly intact, and air and energy are reintroduced to spark

life, the body remains dead. Scripture agrees with the observable evidence when

it states that only God can give the breath of life. Life cannot be explained

by raw materials, time, and chance alone – as evolutionists would lead us to

believe.

72.

Origin of music explained (Psalm 40:3). Evolution cannot

explain the origin of music. The Bible says that every good gift comes from God

(James 1:17). This includes joyful

melodies. God has given both man and angels the gift of music-making (Genesis 4:21; Ezekiel 28:13). Singing is intended to

express rejoicing in and worship of the Lord (Job 38:7; Psalm 95:1-2).

73.

Our ancestors were not primitive (Genesis 4:20-22; Job 8:8-10; 12:12). Archeologists have discovered that our ancestors

mined, had metallurgical factories, created air-conditioned buildings, designed

musical instruments, studied the stars, and much more. This evidence directly

contradicts the theory of evolution, but agrees completely with God’s Word.

74.

Cavemen described in the Bible (Job 30:1-8). Four thousand

years ago, Job describes certain “vile men” who were driven from society to

forage “among the bushes” for survival and who “live in the clefts of the

valleys, (and) in caves of the earth and the rocks.” Therefore “cavemen” were

simply outcasts and vagabounds – not our primitive ancestors as evolutionists

speculate.

75.

Environmental devastation of the planet foreseen (Revelation

11:18). Though evolution imagines

that things should be getting better, the Bible foresaw what is really

occurring today: pollution, destruction and corrupt dominion.

76.

The seed of a plant contains its life (Genesis 1:11; 29). As stated in the Book of Genesis,

we now recognize that inside the humble seed is life itself. Within the seed is

a tiny factory of amazing complexity. No scientist can build a synthetic seed

and no seed is simple!

77.

A seed must die to produce new life (1 Corinthians 15:36-38). Jesus said, “unless a grain of

wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it

produces much grain.” (John 12:24). In this verse is remarkable confirmation of

two of the fundamental concepts in biology: 1) Cells arise only from existing

cells. 2) A grain must die to produce more grain. The fallen seed is surrounded

by supporting cells from the old body. These supporting cells “give their

lives” to provide nourishment to the inner kernel. Once planted, this inner

kernel germinates resulting in much grain.

78.

The order of creation agrees with true science (Genesis 1).

Plants require sunlight, water, and minerals in order to survive. In the first

chapter of Genesis we read that God created light first (v.3), then water (v.

6), then soil (v. 9), and then He created plant life (v. 11).

79.

God created “lights” in the heavens “for signs and seasons,

and for days and years” (Genesis 1:14-16).

We now know that a year is the time required for the earth to travel once

around the sun. The seasons are caused by the changing position of the earth in

relation to the sun. The moon’s phases follow one another in clock-like

precision – constituting the lunar calendar Evolution teaches that the cosmos

evolved by random chance, yet the Bible agrees with the observable evidence.

80

The Bible speaks of “heaven and the highest heavens”

(Deuteronomy 10:14). Long before the

Hubble Space Telescope, Scripture spoke of the “heaven of heavens” and the

“third heaven” (1 Kings 8:27; 2

Corinthians 12:2). We now know that the heavens consist of our immediate

atmosphere and the vast reaches of outer space – as well as God’s wonderful

abode.

81.

Olive oil and wine useful on wounds (Luke 10:34). Jesus told of a Samaritan man, who

when he came upon a wounded traveler, he bandaged him – pouring upon his wounds

olive oil and wine. Today we know that wine contains ethyl alcohol and traces

of methyl alcohol. Both are good disinfectants. Olive oil is also a good

disinfectant, as well as a skin moisturizer, protector, and soothing lotion.

This is common knowledge to us today. However, did you know that during the

Middle Ages and right up till the early 20th century, millions died because

they did not know to treat and protect open wounds?

82.

Man is “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). We

are only beginning to probe the complexity of the DNA

molecule, the eye, the brain, and all the intricate components of life. No

human invention compares to the marvelous wonders of God’s creation

83.

Beauty understood (Genesis 1:31;

2:9; Job 40:10; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Matthew 6:28-30). Beauty surrounds us:

radiant sunsets, majestic mountains, brightly colored flowers, glowing gems,

soothing foliage, brilliantly adorned birds, etc. Beauty is a mystery to the

evolutionist. However, Scripture reveals that God creates beautiful things for

our benefit and His glory

84.

Strong and weak nuclear force explained (Colossians 1:17; Hebrews 1:3). Physicists do not

understand what binds the atom’s nucleus together. Yet, the Bible states that

“all things consist” – or are held together by the Creator – Jesus Christ.

85.

Atomic fission anticipated (2 Peter 3:10-12). Scripture states that “the elements will melt

with fervent heat” when the earth and the heavens are “dissolved” by fire.

Today we understand that if the elements of the atom are loosed, there would be

an enormous release of heat and energy (radiation).

86.

The Pleiades and Orion star clusters described (Job 38:31).

The Pleiades star cluster is gravitationally bound, while the Orion star

cluster is loose and disintegrating because the gravity of the cluster is not

enough to bind the group together. 4,000 years ago God asked Job, "Can you

bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the belt of Orion?" Yet, it is

only recently that we realized that the Pleiades is gravitationally bound, but

Orion's stars are flying apart.

87.

Safe drinking water (Leviticus 11:33-36). God forbade drinking from vessels or stagnant

water that had been contaminated by coming into contact with a dead animal. It

is only in the last 100 years that medical science has learned that

contaminated water can cause typhoid and cholera.

88.

Pest control (Leviticus 25:1-24).

Farmers are plagued today with insects. Yet God gave a sure-fire remedy to

control pests centuries ago. Moses commanded Israel

to set aside one year in seven when no crops were raised. Insects winter in the

stalks of last year’s harvest, hatch in the spring, and are perpetuated by

laying eggs in the new crop. If the crop is denied one year in seven, the pests

have nothing to subsist upon, and are thereby controlled.

89.

Soil conservation (Leviticus 23:22).

Not only was the land to lay fallow every seventh year, but God also instructed

farmers to leave the gleanings when reaping their fields, and not to reap the

corners (sides) of their fields. This served several purposes: 1) Vital soil

minerals would be maintained. 2) The hedge row would limit wind erosion. 3) The

poor could eat the gleanings. Today, approximately four billion metric tons of

soil are lost from U.S.

crop lands each year. Much of this soil depletion could be avoided if God’s

commands were followed.

90.

Animal instincts understood (Job 39; Proverbs 30:24-28;

Jeremiah 8:7). A newly hatched spider weaves an intricate web without being

taught. A recently emerged butterfly somehow knows to navigate a 2,500-mile

migration route without a guide. God explains that He has endowed each creature

with specific knowledge. Scripture, not evolution, explains animal instincts.

91

Animals do not have a conscience (Psalm 32:9). A parrot can

be taught to swear and blaspheme, yet never feel conviction. Many animals

steal, but they do not experience guilt. If man evolved from animals, where did

our conscience come from? The Bible explains that man alone was created as a

moral being in God’s image.

92.

Pseudo-science anticipated (1 Timothy 6:20). The theory of evolution contradicts the observable

evidence. The Bible warned us in advance that there would be those who would

profess: “profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely

called knowledge (science).” True science agrees with the Creator’s Word

93.

Science confirms the Bible (Colossians 2:3). These insights

place the Bible far above every manmade theory and all other so-called inspired

books. In contrast, the Koran states that the sun sets in a muddy pond (Surah

18:86). The Hadith contains many myths. The Book of Mormon declares that Native

Americans descended from Jews – which has been disproven by DNA

research. The Eastern writings also contradict true science

94.

Human conscience understood (Romans 2:14-15). The Bible reveals that God has impressed His

moral law onto every human heart. Con means with and science means knowledge.

We know it is wrong to murder, lie, steal, etc. Only the Bible explains that

each human has a God-given knowledge of right and wrong.

95.

Love explained (Matthew 22:37-40;

1 John 4:7-12). Evolution cannot explain love. Yet, God’s Word reveals that the

very purpose of our existence is to know and love God and our fellow man. God

is love, and we were created in His image to reflect His love.

96.

The real you is spirit (Numbers 16:22; Zechariah 12:1). Personality is non-physical. For

example, after a heart transplant the recipient does not receive the donor’s

character. An amputee is not half the person he was before loosing his limbs.

Our eternal nature is spirit, heart, soul, mind. The Bible tells us that “man

looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel

16:7)

97.

The cause of suffering revealed (Genesis 3; Isaiah 24:5-6).

The earth is subject to misery, which appears at odds with our wonderfully

designed universe. However, the Bible, not evolution, explains the origin of

suffering. When mankind rebelled against God, the curse resulted – introducing

affliction, pain and death into the world.

98.

Death explained (Romans 6:23).

All eventually die. The Bible alone explains why we die – “The soul who sins

shall die” (Ezekiel 18:20). Sin is

transgression of God’s Law. To see if you will die, please review God’s Ten

Commandments (Exodus 20). Have you ever lied? (White lies and fibs count.) Ever

stolen? (Cheating on a test or taxes is stealing.) Jesus said that “whoever

looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his

heart” (Matthew 5:28). Have you ever

looked with lust? Then you’re an adulterer at heart. Have you ever hated

someone or called someone a fool? If so, the Bible says you are guilty of

murder (Matthew 5:21-22; 1 John 3:15). Have you ever used your Creator’s name

(Lord, God, Jesus, or Christ) in vain? This is called blasphemy – and God hates

it. If you have broken these commandments at any time, then by your own

admission, you are a blasphemer, a murderer, an adulterer, a thief, and a liar

at heart. And we have only looked at five of the Ten Commandments. This is why

we die.

99.

Justice understood (Acts 17:30-31).

Our God-given conscience reveals that all sin will be judged. Down deep we know

that He who created the eyes sees every secret sin (Romans 2:16). He who formed our mind remembers our past offense

as if it just occurred. God has declared that the penalty for sin is death.

Physical death comes first, then the second death – which is eternal separation

from God in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8). God cannot lie. Every sin will

be judged. His justice demands it. But God is also rich in mercy to all who call

upon His name. He has made a way for justice to be served and mercy to be

shown

100.

Eternal life revealed (John 3:16).

Scientists search in vain for the cure for aging and death. Yet, the good news

is that God, who is the source of all life, has made a way to freely forgive us

so that we may live forever with Him in heaven. “But God demonstrates His own

love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”

(Romans 5:8). “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,

that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John

3:16). God desires a loving, eternal

relationship with each person – free from sin, fear, and pain. Therefore, He

sent His Son to die as our substitute on the cross. “The wages of sin is death,

but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Jesus never sinned, therefore He alone

qualified to pay the penalty for our sins on the cross. He died in our place.

He then rose from the grave defeating death. All who turn from their sins and

trust Him will be saved. To repent and place your trust in Jesus Christ, make

Psalm 51 your prayer. Then read your Bible daily, obeying what you read. God

will never let you down

101.

The solution to suffering (Revelation 21). Neither evolution

nor religion offers a solution to suffering. But God offers heaven as a gift to

all who trust in His Son. In heaven, “God will wipe away every tear from their

eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no

more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4).

The Bible is inspired by the Creator. Therefore it is no

surprise that life’s ultimate questions are answered within its pages. The

Bible reveals the purpose of our existence. Scripture alone explains where our

conscience came from. And no other source explains the root cause of death.

Seeing that all die, wouldn’t it be wise to search for the remedy in the only

book that proves it was inspired by God?

The Bible offers the only remedy for

sin, suffering, and death. God’s Word presents the only perfect, sinless Savior

– one who died for our sins and rose from the dead. Jesus is the Creator (John

1; Colossians 1). He said “I and My Father are one” (John 10:30). He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). And He promises His

followers: “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish” (John 10:28). Your eternal destiny will be

determined by your choice.

There is only one provision for sin. Jesus died in

your place. Only by faith in Christ’s finished work will you be saved. This is

God’s free gift offered to all. Please do not let pride, religion, opinions, or

love for sin separate you from God. No sin is worth an eternity in hell. Please

heed Jesus’ words – “Repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15). If you do, you will live in heaven with

our awesome Creator forever!

***************** IT'S MORE THAN FAITH IT IS RELIABLE

***********************

IT IS THE WORD OF GOD AND

IF GOD'S WORD IS TRUE? WHICH IT IS, THEN THAT

MEANS THAT THERE IS

1. A HEAVEN
2. A HELL

BUT IT ALSO MEANS THAT GOD ALSO FORGIVES AND CAN SAVE ANYONE WHO
COMES TO HIM IN PRAYER AND TRUST HIM AS LORD AND REPENTS OF THEIR SINS.

God
does not want to send anyone to Hell. It was for the devil and the
fallen angels who rebelled against God not you. but if you go to Hell,
it will be because you rejected God's only free gift of Salvation which
cost you nothing but cost Jesus Christ his live and was nailed to a
cross for you're sins and mine too"
