SCIENTIFIC ACCURACIES OF THE BIBLE
For years people have said that the Bible was a fairy tale, full of myths or simply a collection of writing by religious zealots. If one takes the time to examine the words of the most unique book of all time they would soon find that the Bible has predated, often by several thousand years, scientific "discoveries" that man has often overlooked or ignored. Here are just a few:
- Life Is In the Blood
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.

Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
- The Earth Hangs In Space
Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
- The Stars Are Countless
Genesis 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
- Valleys in the Oceans
2 Samuel 22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
- Springs and Fountains in the Oceans
Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
Genesis 8:2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
Proverbs 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
- Ocean Paths or Currents
Psalms 8:1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
- How Rain is Created (Hydrologic Cycle)
Job 26:8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Job 36:27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: 28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
Ecclesiastes 1:6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. 7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
- The Second Law of Thermodynamics - The Concept of Entropy
Psalms 102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
