BIBLE & SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES

in #story8 years ago (edited)


Nowadays, through many studies, many similarities have been found between the bible and scientific advances. There are so many similarities that you select some, I hope you will like it in this article. Many of this information was compiled from the Bibles and from Several articles collected on the internet.

Many people believe that every new scientific discovery does not appear in the Bible. But the written traditions of the different peoples have been pronounced of real and verifiable facts. So much so, that the Bible and science have coincidences in which I will show some.

First I have to say that the Bible is not a long fairy tale it is divided into two main parts: The Old Testament and the New Testament. In short, the Old Testament is the history of a Nation, and the New Testament is the story of a Man. The Nation was the way God brought Man into the world. Since the nineteenth century, archeology has shown that both the events narrated in the Bible and those recorded in the Iliad and the Odyssey were historical, as there would only be room for relative and extraordinary events. Throughout the history of humanity there have been various people motivated by the scientific and technological development of society, who have made significant contributions to the world. However, there are so many similarities between the Bible and the advances of human discovery.

The universe had a beginning



God made the world from nothing. In the beginning God created heaven and earth. The earth was loneliness and chaos, and darkness covered the abyss; but the spirit of God fluttered above the waters.
God said: "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was right, and God separated the light from the darkness; and God called the light «day», and the darkness he called «night». And it got dark and dawned: first day. The universe had a beginning (Genesis 1: 1). In contrast, many ancient myths suggest that the universe is something that was organized out of an already existing chaos, and not something that was created out of nothing. The Babylonians believed that the gods that engendered the universe came out of two great oceans. And other legends tell that the universe comes from a giant egg.

On the scientific side, based on a new model that applies terms of quantum correction to supplement Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, the universe may not have had a beginning and, therefore, have always existed.
According to scientific estimates, our universe is 13,800 million years old and in its origin, everything that existed must occupy what is known as singularity or a single point of origin of enormous density; After this, the Big Bang expanded this uniqueness and caused the official birth of it. But science, more specifically mathematics, are unable to predict what happened before the singularity ..

The universal flood



The biblical story of the universal flood is not the only one described in the history of the Bible where a god ordering a man to build a huge ship and put animals of each species is repeated in a large number of ancestral cultures throughout the world. world . In the book of MYTHS OF CREATION, he states that there are more than 500 legends of deluges, 200 of which are from Universal deluges that have some regional adaptation, but always with the same background.
"Those events could have been transmitted from generation to generation as the memory of a great flood. They must have felt like the whole world was flooded and that could have been the origin of the story of Noah's Ark. "

Dust you are and in dust you will become



Genesis says also that man was made clay. Later, the same book states: "From the sweat of your face you shall eat the bread until you return to the earth; because of it you were taken: for you are dust, and to the dust you will be tornado
Today we also know that apart from oxygen, carbon and hydrogen, we are made of 25 other elements of the periodic table, all of them present in the earth.
That leads us then to think about spontaneous generation, that discarded theory according to which living beings could come out of inorganic material. The curious thing is that it can not be discarded at all because they have been found evidence of minerals that grow (not due to calcium oxide) as the quartzite cave discovered by Charles Brewer-Carías, in Venezuela.

The earth is round



3,500 years ago, when this book was written, it was thought that the world was flat and that it was supported by a giant turtle or by a titan called Atlas. But for some strange reason in "Job" 26: 7 it is written that the world hangs over nothing, which advances 30 centuries to discoveries about the law of gravity and the roundness of the earth.
The Bible says that the Earth is flat. When the Bible speaks of the "extremity" of the Earth, or its confines or extremes, it refers to "the most distant part" of the planet; it does not mean that the Earth is flat and has edges. Likewise, the expression "the four extremities of the earth" is a poetic way in which the Bible describes the entire surface of the planet. The expression "the four cardinal points," which we use today, can convey a similar meaning (Isaiah 11:12, Luke 13:29). Isaiah 40:22 says that the Lord is mounted on the circle of the Earth. Skeptics say that circle is not the same as sphere, and that is true. But in Job 26: 7 it reads: "He (God) stretches out the north on emptiness, Hangs the earth on nothing

For the scientific part throughout history, humanity has defended the sphericity of the planet in various stages. For example, in the Hindu text Surya Siddhanta from the 20th century BC. the roundness of the Tierrra is already insinuated, while in the Egyptian book of 'La Morada Oculta' from the 15th century BC. ocurrs the same.
Later Greek wise men like Plato, Aristotle and Eratosthenes (4th and 3rd centuries BC) also defended that the planets were spherical, but years later the Bible was in charge of throwing these ideas to the ground and it was not until Copernicus and Galileo (16th and 17th centuries) ) when the human being began to realize how truly is our planet and the universe that surrounds it.

The path of light



In Job, chapter 38, verse 24, God asks the complainer Job by which way the light is distributed.
And that the ability of light to divide was observed only in 1666 by Isaac Newton, and that the quantum theory had to wait for Einstein in 1905 was its most fruitful year, the result of the publication of four scientific articles on the photoelectric effect, the Brownian motion, the theory of special relativity and the mass-energy equivalence (E = mc²). The first earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, the second the degree of doctor and the last two would consecrate, over time, as the greatest scientist of the twentieth century.

The process of rain



Rain is an atmospheric phenomenon that begins with the condensation of water vapor contained in the clouds. Its origin is due to changes in pressure or temperature in the atmosphere and the availability of water in the environment. Specifically, rain depends on three factors: pressure, temperature and, especially, solar radiation.
The atmosphere always has a certain percentage of water in the form of vapor, the higher the temperature in the atmosphere, the greater the capacity to evaporate. This rainwater can condense and precipitate for different reasons.
If it comes into contact with a cold front, when the atmosphere cools it is less able to transport water vapor and it condenses and it rains, because the cold lowers the degree of saturation. Colliding with a natural obstacle.
It was only in 1740 that, thanks to the works of Perrault and Mariotte, modern science identified the process that must be fulfilled to make it rain.

Jesus Christ mentioned an indispensable element for the formation of rain. Speaking about God, he said: "He makes his sun rise on the wicked and the good and rains on the just and unjust" (Matthew 5:45). Has been set? Before talking about the rain, he made reference to the Sun. And that is the logical order, because this star not only provides the energy that gives life to the plants; He is also responsible for the water cycle. Indeed, its heat evaporates every year about 400,000 cubic kilometers (100,000 cubic miles) of salt water, thus converting it into fresh water. No wonder the Bible says that Jehovah, the Creator of the Sun, "draws up" the water to produce the rain.
However, thousands of years before, in "Job" it was already written that "He attracts the drops of the waters, when the steam turns into rain, which the clouds distill, dripping in abundance on men" (36: 27- 28).
And he says in Ecclesiastes: "The rivers all go to the sea, and the sea is not filled; to the place where the rivers came from, there they return to run again. "
Albert Einstein said: "Science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind."

I want to take a minute to thank you for reading my publication and I look forward to your comments and support me with your vote.

Good article and very insightful. I myself was brought up on religion as i am sure a lot of people from western culture was as well. I have since grown up and taken things from the bible to be true and that science and religion have many similarities, that's why they are different. Science can't explain faith as faith can't explain science. science goes off of what can be recorded and analyzed to come to a general answer for a given thing. I just don't believe that those to coincide ALL THE TIME. But i do see what you are attempting to explain.
