Science and the Bible part 1 Science in its simplest form means knowledge derived from observation, study and experimentation. True science has limitations: 1. There must be an observation of the facts 2. The statement of a problem 3. They must experiment and test this hypothesis 4. If enough data is gathered to support the hypothesis it then becomes a theory. 5. The final step for something to become a law or true science is the theory must be thoroughly tested and firmly established that is true The Bible and Astronomy Astronomy is the study of the planets and the stars together with their movements and relations to one another. Jeremiah 33:22 'As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me.' " 150 BC Hipparchus estimated less than 3000 stars. 3 centuries later Ptolemy counted 1,056 By today’s estimation 4000 stars can be seen by the naked eye. 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 estimated stars in the universe. Psalm 147:4 He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. 5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. 1 Corinthians 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory. Genesis 1:14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 "and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. Psalm 89:35 Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David. 36 His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me. 37 Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies. Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God.. Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, The Big Bang Theory The Cosmic Egg The Earth: • 93million miles away from the sun • Spins on its axis 1000 mph at the equator • Makes minute adjustments to conform to it elliptical track • If was off by one tenth of an inch the earth would move toward outer space becoming a frozen ball. • If it were of one eighth of an inch it would be pulled into the sun and burned up Isaiah 40:22 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; “The ancient Greeks and Romans were the most advanced peoples in their time, yet they believed that the earth was held in place by poles or by the neck of Atlas. Others believed that Atlas had the earth on his shoulders. Some said that the earth floated on water and should one go too far out on the sea he would surely perish” Job 9:8 who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea; 9 who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south; Job 38:31 "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion? Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.
