What in the Bible has been scientifically proven to really happen?

Answer 1

* Discoveries in astronomy have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that the universe did, in fact, have a beginning. There was a single moment of creation.
* Advances in molecular biology have revealed vast amounts of information encoded in each and every living cell, and molecular biologists have discovered thousands upon thousands of exquisitely designed machines at the molecular level. Information requires intelligence and design requires a designer.
* Biochemists and mathematicians have calculated the odds against life arising from non-life naturally via unintelligent processes. The odds are astronomical. In fact, scientists aren't even sure if life could have evolved naturally via unintelligent processes. If life did not arise by chance, how did it arise?
* The universe is ordered by natural laws. Where did these laws come from and what purpose do they serve?
* Philosophers agree that a transcendent Law Giver is the only plausible explanation for an objective moral standard. So, ask yourself if you believe in right and wrong and then ask yourself why. Who gave you your conscience? Why does it exist?
* People of every race, creed, color, and culture, both men and women, young and old, wise and foolish, from the educated to the ignorant, claim to have personally experienced something of the supernatural. So what are we supposed to do with these prodigious accounts of divine healing, prophetic revelation, answered prayer, and other miraculous phenomena? Ignorance and imagination may have played a part to be sure, but is there something more?

Answer 2

The so called mystical properties of mathematics has been explored for more than 2000 years. Philo an early Jewish theologian(around 10 ad) thought numbers may be divine. Many people from that period thought maths to be divine somewhat because of its perceived predictability properties. Of course the people that really know maths understand that it is a MAN MADE language. Sure it is still deeply interesting. Maths will always be used to try and convince people of truths. And the bible code is no different. Mathematical logarithms to try and prove prophecy is just another example of peoples attempt to prove Christianity to be 'scientifically' accurate. The book of revelation and its numerology is an earlier attempt at this, and it still convinces people today. Treating the bible like its some divine magic holy book with special powers, is nothing new. This bible code has been done before long ago. The methods used in the "Bible Code" can be used any other large books and extract similiar informtion. Most of the words in this reply are all made up from just 26 letters. Is it a miracle? Its simply Order. Larger the book more chances of detecting a sequence that will spell something interesting

Answer 3

The Bible was written by people who thought the world was a flat disk, the sky was a big dome overhead with all the stars, planets, sun and moon attached to it, that there was a layer or reservoir of water above the dome and that when it rained (or there was a big flood) it was because God opened the floodgates in the dome to let some of the water out. They thought that the stars were not very large, that the sky--also called heaven--was not very far away, and that it could be reached if you built a really tall tower. They thought that God sat on a throne above the sky-dome, which is why they often wrote of God "coming down" to have a look at something or to speak with men. They believed that two of every animal in the world could fit on a large, wooden boat...but of course, they did not know of very many animals so this made sense to them.

They thought that the world was formed out of water (it accreted from matter in the early solar disk), that Earth abides forever (it will be destroyed when the sun goes nova), and that it does not move (it rotates around its axis and around the sun).

The biblical writers believed many, many silly things that made sense to them because they did not have science, and their God did not see fit to teach them anything useful. It has been entirely up to humans to discover the truth about the universe--and it shows us that the universe runs itself quite easily with no need for a wonder-working genie behind the scenes.

Answer 4

The Bible warns believers the in the Last Days there will be scorners of the Gospel .

Your own question proves it without scientific proof.

Answer 5

Scientists can't prove the Bible any more than they can disprove it. But there has been lots of evidence presented that support Biblical accounts of the flood, the parting of the Red Sea, etc. Not to mention those individuals in the Bible whose existence has been proven historically.

P.S. David T would get my vote.

Answer 6

Snakes talk? People rise from the grave? People walking on water?

I think you're betting on the wrong horse here. Better look up the Scientific Method before putting your money on the line.

Answer 7

That the moon comes full about every 28 days. That the sun rises and sets. That we can predict seasons astronomically. That if you stick a spear in someone, they will die. That pork is not a good choice when refrigeration is not handy. That you can catch fish with a net. That boats float. That if you jump off a cliff, you can die. That stoning is a painful and slow method of death.

That's a few.

Answer 8

Peace!
The Bible is not a Science book. It is a history of God's saving acts to redeem man. You can also say it is a handbook of life. There are many eternal and universal truths in the Bible which can help us understand why we are here and what we can do to give meaning and purpose to our life.

Answer 9

the laying of the 12 stones in the OT that symbolized the 12 tribes. scientist found a place with 12 stones set in perfect position in a complete circle. that is one, there are lots of other things. look up the dead sea scrools. they are amaizing.

Answer 10

It is said that Noah's Ark has been found frozen in an iceberg somewhere...

It could have been just a really really 5000 year old giant boat, though.

Sources, David, sources. tsk tsk.

Answer 11

It all happened and scientists have never been able to factually disprove one word of the Bible.
