Revolving Earth "I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left." -- Luke 17:34-36 These verses say the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will occur while some are asleep at night and others are working at daytime activities in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night at the same time. |

The Bible explains when God intervened supernaturally at key points in history in ways that affect what astronomers, geologists, biologists and anthropologists study. Without the Bible record such as the creation account in Genesis, we would be in the dark about these events, but with it we can understand the world as we see today. Below are a few examples where the Bible has made a claim that science is only now beginning to recognise: Astronomy. The Bible claims the universe had a beginning. Philosophers and scientists rejected that claim for over 2,000 years, but now astronomers believe the universe had a beginning which they now call the "big-b@ng", even though it still has a very different time frame. |

Modern Science in the bible Please, don't make me laugh Try as hard as you want, you will not find it there. OLAADEGBU:Utter rubbish. Is this the best you can find? How do chapters 1 & 2 of Genesis match the big b@ng? I know the theists are desperate for scientific underpinnings for their superstitious nonsense, but this, pleaseee Science does not confirm the bible. Science debunks the bible. |
Re: Science Confirms The Bible by OLAADEGBU(m): 5:42pm On Sep 01, 2011 |
Zodiac61: Do you believe that the universe had a beginning? You've got to come up with your points if you disagree. Zodiac61: The question is: do you believe the universe had a beginning or it has always been. True science will always come back to confirm what the Bible says. The Bible is clearly unlike any other document in history. Every claim it makes about science is not only true but crucial for filling in the blanks of our understanding about the origin of the universe, the earth, fossils, life and human beings. The more we study and learn about the world, the more we come to appreciate the Bible's flawless, supernatural character. |

Re: Science Confirms The Bible by OLAADEGBU(m): 11:15pm On Sep 01, 2011 |
Zodiac61: The Bible never claims to be a science textbook. The Bible, nevertheless, claims to be "true from the beginning" (Psalm:160). Therefore, every specific reference about science in the Bible must be accurate. Your only option is to rely on your preconceived beliefs about what happened in the past when no one was there to witness it. God, as an eyewitness as to what happened in the past has revealed to us in the creation account in the book of Genesis. |
Re: Science Confirms The Bible by Zodiac61(m): 11:23pm On Sep 01, 2011 |
OLAADEGBU:What the bible claims to be and what the bible really is are two different things. Like I said, dream on. |
Re: Science Confirms The Bible by OLAADEGBU(m): 11:47pm On Sep 01, 2011 |
Zodiac61: The Bible's authencity has been tested time and time again. Over the centuries the Bible has been rigorously tested for scientific accuracy, and it has never failed. It has not only proven to be true but it is the key for us in understanding the world we see today. While we have the benefit of the eyewitness account humanists and skeptics have to rely on their daydreaming and fairy tales to make up the missing links. |

Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances,, and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, which people see as ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn. @OLAADEGBU, Whilst you pride yourself in your tunnel-visioned ignorance, it might help if from time to time you considered the above from St. Augustine. If you post such an ignorant and, frankly, untrue screed like this, do not be surprised if you are taken out. It does not help your already hopeless cause if you have to lie to make the bible fit the scientific concensus. The authors of the bible knew absolutely nothing about science. They were superstitious persons who were trying to explain what appeared to be strange goings on. It is a shame that people like you close your minds to the reality of what is happening around you, and instead choose to rely on superstitious scribblings from 4000 to 2000 years ago. |
Re: Science Confirms The Bible by OLAADEGBU(m): 1:33pm On Sep 02, 2011 |
Zodiac61: Is your so called "St. Augustine" where you take your authority from? I take my authority from the Scriptures and not from any deluded religious monk who does not know what he is talking about. Scientists during his time believed that the earth is flat and religious people like him swallowed it hook, line and sinker and even persecuted those who dared say otherwise. Are these the ones you now refer to as talking sense? It was the RCC who make skeptics to laugh them to scorn as they continue to embarrass themselves even though they dine with them. Scientists then and today have run into all sorts of interesting questions about the physical and biological processes that produced the earth we now see, but they are limited to observing, testing and experimenting with the present processes and creatures. They can only make educated guesses about the past based on fragmentary evidence and prejudiced speculations which are not scientifically tenable because they were not present to observe what happened in the distant past. On the other hand, the Creator God who is Omniscient and Omnipresent when He created this cosmos has revealed to us in an eyewitness account, which is called the Bible, what, how and when created this present world we are talking about. |

Evil Brain: U see. Hardly will any of the atheist on nairaland reply on a thread without insulting or getting aggressive in a bid to sell their belief to others. getting frustrated and agitated wouldn't help u sell your case any better Evil Brain:Smdh. Becos people refused to buy into your 'logic' hence u describe them as 'closed-minded and impervious to reason and rationality'? Na wa ooo. So what is the reason and rationality u are trying to make us believe in? Have u read about evangelical atheism? If u ve not, try doing so. The exact way u responded to this thread is same as how evangelical atheists react in a bid to sell their 'belief' to others. Smdh at your very irrational logic
Not to be confused with normal atheists/agnostics, who for the most part just don't talk about religion and accept the beliefs of those around them as their prerogative |

Let's look at another example where science confirms the Bible. Anthropology: The Bible claims that all humans are "one blood" descended from one man and one woman (Acts 17:26; 1 Cor. 15:45; Gen.3:20). Some 19th-century biologists argued that different races descended from lower animals, but today genetics has verified that there is only one human race. |
Re: Science Confirms The Bible by Zodiac61(m): 2:45pm On Sep 02, 2011 |
OLAADEGBU: I see that you are still continuing with your deluded claims. You do not have half the brains St. Augustine had, yet you call him a deluded monk. You are, of course, not limited to experimentation and observation. Why do that when you have god to do your thinking for you. What a poor, deluded, ignorant fool. |
Re: Science Confirms The Bible by mazaje(m): 2:46pm On Sep 02, 2011 |
OLAADEGBU: Where is the genetic evidence that shows that all humans descended from one man and one woman? Where is the DNA evidence that confirms this?. . .By the way you lie when you say humans belong to one race. . .there is nothing like the human race. . . .there are many races that make up the human race. . .So humans are not one blood. . . |

OLAADEGBU: You believe that the earth and universe are 6000 years old right. . .Where is the scientific evidence that says the sun is and all the stars are 6000 years old? According to your lying bible the earth was created with water and plants in it before the sun was created, where is the evidence for this pls?. . . |

" In chapter 30, he told of Jacob's scheme to increase his wealth while he was still in the employ of his father-in-law Laban. The two had reached an agreement whereby Jacob would be given all striped, spotted, and speckled lambs and kids subsequently born in Laban's flocks. Laban then removed all the striped, spotted, and speckled animals from his flocks and put them in his sons' care at a three-day distance from the flock Jacob attended. Not to be outsmarted, Jacob devised a plan: Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the rods. He set the rods that he had peeled in front of the flocks in the troughs, that is, the watering places, where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink, the flocks bred in front of the rods, and so the flocks produced young that were striped, speckled, and spotted (30:37-39,). The editors of The New American Bible were reputable enough to affix a frankly[b] honest footnote to this passage[/b]: Jacob's stratagem was based on the widespread notion among simple people that visual stimuli can have prenatal effects on the offspring of breeding animals. Thus, the rods on which Jacob had whittled stripes or bands or chevron marks were thought to cause the female goats that looked at them to bear kids with lighter-colored marks on their dark hair, while the gray ewes were thought to bear lambs with dark marks on them simply by visual crossbreeding with the dark goats. We know today that the color characteristics of animals is purely a matter of genetics, so a modern, scientifically-educated person would never write anything as obviously superstitious as this tale of Jacob's prosperity. The Genesis writer(s), however, knew nothing about the science of genetics, so to him the story undoubtedly made good sense. One thing the Bible definitely is not is inerrant in matters of science." http://atheism.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=atheism&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.infidels.org%2Flibrary%2Fmagazines%2Ftsr%2F1991%2F1%2F1boobo91.html |
Re: Science Confirms The Bible by mazaje(m): 3:29pm On Sep 02, 2011 |
Lets look at what the bible has to say about science. . .What does the bible say regarding ‘Hydrology’? The bible says in genesis, Ch.9, Vs.13 t- 17, that . . . ‘After God, at the time of Noah submerged the world by flood, and after the flood’ subsided, He said. . . I put up a rainbow in the sky as a promise to the humankind never to submerge the world again, by water. To the unscientific person it may be quite good… ‘Oh rainbow is a sign of Almighty God, never to submerge the world by flood again.’ . . . But today thanks to scientific knowledge we know very well, that rainbow is due to the refraction of sunlight on the earth's atmosphere with rain or mist. Surely there must have been thousands of rainbows before the time of Noah. To say it was not there before Noah’s time you have to assume that the law of refraction did not exist which is unscientific. In the field of medicine, the bible says in the book of Leveticus, Ch.14, Vs No.49 to 53 - it gives a novel way for disinfecting a house from plague of leprosy. . . . disinfecting a house from plague of leprosy. It says that… ‘Take two birds, kill one bird, take wood, scale it - and the other living bird, dip it in water . . . .and under running water later on sprinkle the house 7 times with it. Sprinkle the house with blood to disinfect against plague of leprosy? You know blood is a good media of germs, bacteria, as well as toxins! Unscientific. Earth was created on the 3rd day of creation according to the genesis myth. How can you have a night and day without the earth ? The day depends upon the rotation of the earth. . . Without the sun created, how can you have a night and day? |

mazaje: "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings" (Acts 17:26). When you look at the level of Y Chromosomes between all the people groups you will realise that their is very little difference between them. If you look in the mirror and hold a black piece of paper next to your face, do see yourself as black? neither is the Caucasian white. Folks are some shade of brown, because we all have a brown pigment in our skin called melanin. This is what makes us the complexion we are. While some folks have lots of melanin which makes them very dark others don't have as much melanin and they would be lighter in complexion. Our first parents probably had a medium brown amount of pigment from which they will produce offsprings ranging from very dark children to very light ones. Therefore, we all do have the same type of skin colour, it is just that the amount of brown colour (melanin) differs from person to person. The difference is only skin deep.

Re: Science Confirms The Bible by OLAADEGBU(m): 4:24pm On Sep 02, 2011 |
mazaje: Where is your own scientific evidence that the universe is 15 billion years old? The fact remains that both of us were not there when it all began. One thing we agree now agree on is that it had a beginning. The creation and big b'ng model are presuppositions that we have to fall back on. For a true scientist to do proper science he has to observe, test and experiment. How will he observe what supposedly happened 15 billion years ago? You can see that he has no way of proving or disproving what happened in the distant past because he was not present to observe the natural processes or singularity that produced the b@ng. The Christian scientist has an edge over his unbelieving skeptic because He has the Creator God who gives him an eyewitness account as to what happened in the past to produce what we see in the world today. Check out the differences in both the evolution and creation models respectively.

Re: Science Confirms The Bible by mazaje(m): 5:33pm On Sep 02, 2011 |
OLAADEGBU: What the hell is this?. . .Firstly blood is NOT race. . . . .No matter how you lie, blood is NOT race. . .By the way even humans all have different blood groups, so you lie when you say people are made from one blood. . .The human blood group is NOT one. . . .There is another scientific error from the bible. . . . When you look at the level of Y Chromosomes between all the people groups you will realise that their is very little difference between them. If you look in the mirror and hold a black piece of paper next to your face, do see yourself as black? neither is the Caucasian white.

While some folks have lots of melanin which makes them very dark others don't have as much melanin and they would be lighter in complexion. Our first parents probably had a medium brown amount of pigment from which they will produce offsprings ranging from very dark children to very light ones. So white people are not white and black people are not black because holding a paper against a mirror makes the pigmentation disappear?. . .You are obviously confused. . . .The human race is NOT the same. . . . .Its not just the skin color but eye color, hair texture, body size, body odor, etc. . . .Again where is your genetic evidence that shows that all humans descended for one man and one woman? Therefore, [b]we all do have the same type of skin colou[/b]r, it is just that the amount of brown colour (melanin) differs from person to person. The difference is only skin deep. That is a lie, we do NOT all have the same type of skin color. . .What about the difference in hair texture, eye color, etc . . . . |
Re: Science Confirms The Bible by mazaje(m): 6:07pm On Sep 02, 2011 |
OLAADEGBU: Firstly there is nothing like christian scientist, a scientist is just a scientist. . . . . . Here is what mantraa wrote with regards to the age of the universe from the scientific perspective. . . "A light year is the distance that light travels in a year at a constant speed of 186000 miles per second. I know that a light year is a measure of distance. A light year is 5,865,696,000,000 miles. The closest star to Earth (besides our sun) is something like 24,000,000,000,000 miles ( 4 light years ) away. That's the closest star. There are stars that are billions of times farther away than that. When you start talking about those kinds of distances, a mile or kilometer just isn't a practical unit to use because the numbers get too big. No one wants to write or talk about numbers that have 20 digits in them! Thats why it is much more convenient to use the term light years to measure these immense distances. However, using a light year as a distance measurement has another advantage -- it helps you determine age. Let's say that a star is 1 million light years away. Thats 1 million x 5,865,696,000,000 miles away. The light from that star has traveled at the speed of light (5,865,696,000,000 miles per year) to reach us. Therefore, it has taken the star's light 1 million years to get here, and the light we are seeing left the star 1 million years ago. So the star we are seeing is really how the star looked a million years ago, not how it looks today. In the same way, our sun is 8 or so light minutes away. If the sun were to suddenly explode right now, we wouldn't know about it for eight minutes because that is how long it would take for the light of the explosion to get here. Light does not travel instantly across the universe. It has a constant velocity of 186000 miles per second. So if the universe was created only 6000 years ago as you claim then the light from stars and galaxies further than 6000 light years away (6000 x 5,865,696,000,000 miles) would not have reached us yet. The fact that we can see galaxies that are 13 billion light years away means that they are 13 billion x 5,865,696,000,000 miles away and the light from them have been travelling for 13 billion years to reach us. We are seeing them as they were 13 billion years ago, just as when you look up at the sun you are seeing it as it was eight minutes ago. Do you understand now? I hope that i have explained it well enough for you." Where is your own scientific evidence that shows that this procedure or method of measurement is wrong? . . . .How is this measurement wrong?. . . |
