Part I: The Big Bang Theory, Galactic Placement, and the Planets
Part II: Molecular Biology
Part III: Human Evolution
It may surprise you to know that in many ways science and the Bible coincide with each other, not just in the way of creation. According to The Evidence Bible, in Genesis 1:1, 2, God first tells man that He controls all aspects of the universe, which coincides with science because science expresses the cosmos in 5 terms: time, space, matter, power, and motion, and according to Genesis, in the beginning (time), God created (power) the heavens (space) and the earth (matter)…And the Spirit of God moved (motion) upon the face of the water. Also, in Genesis 1:14, God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. Moses, the accepted author of this book, knew this fact 3500 years ago. But recently scientists are realizing how this is true because when astronomers note how long it takes for the Earth to circle around the sun, it also affects the planet’s seasons, and, according to the Worldbook Multimedia Encyclopedia, “astronomers can tell exactly from the earth’s motions around the sun when one season ends and the next one begins.” Also, another instance where science proved the Bible is true was when Matthew Maury (1806-1873), who became known as the father of oceanography and “Pathfinder of the Seas”, took literally what was written in Psalm 8:8 [The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.] 2800 years ago and discovered the warm and cold water currents. He was able to do this in 1847 by studying the available navigational and meteorological charts that numerous sailors had stored in logbooks from the U.S. Navy’s Depot of Charts and Instruments.
Another time
that science proves evolution is wrong and the Bible is true, is in the case of
the Second Law of Thermodynamics. According to the DVD, A Question of
Origins, The Second Law of Thermodynamics, or Entropy, says that as time
progresses the cosmos becomes less ordered, and that over time all systems left
on their own proceed in a direction from order to disorder, and we all bear
witness to this fact when we view things aging and deteriorating nearly every
day. This breakdown of structure directly contradicts the theory of evolution,
even though the Second Law of Thermodynamics allows you to increase order, like
a baby growing into an adult, it can only happen if there is an outside energy
source and a harnessing mechanism to capture the energy, which is one thing
evolution doesn’t have. The Bible said this in Isaiah 51:6 [Lift up your
eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall
vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they
that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for
ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.] and even scientists are
able to recognize that the idea of evolution creating the universe violates
this law, also called Entropy, which was also explained in that verse when it
said, “the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old
like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner”.
Evolutionists and creationist are both in agreement at least on the topic of
how our universe is not infinite, and that space, time, and matter had a
beginning that is referred to as a Singularity. NASA scientist, Robert
Jastrow, had written: “The Second Law of Thermodynamics, applied to the cosmos,
indicates that the universe is running down like a clock. If it is
running down, there must have been a time when it was fully wound up” in 1959
Gordon Van Wylan wrote: “…The author has found that the Second Law tends to
increase his conviction that there is a Creator who has the answer for the future
destiny of man and the universe” (Gordon Van Wylan, Thermodynamics, New
York: John Wiley & Sons, (1959)). Also, if the universe had been
“fully wound up” at some point, who wound it up to begin with? There is
also the problem evolutionists have with the concept of Singularity, which is
what took place before it?
More
instances where science proves the truth of the Bible and creation is when the
prophet Amos said that God “calls the waters of the sea, and pours them out
upon the face of the earth.” This verse, Amos 9:6, was written around 760
BC, yet Galileo discovered the fact of the water cycle 300 years ago and even
now some scientists are still realizing God’s “decrees for the rain”.
Also, in Job 38:7 [When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of
God shouted for joy], God told Job that stars emit radio waves that earth
receives in a high pitched sound, yet science is still discovering this even
now as universes are emitting radio waves amongst other sounds that still
puzzles them. In Job 38:35 the Bible uses a statement that light can be
sent and then manifested into speech, in which science realized this biblical
fact when British scientist, James Clerk Maxwell, made the suggestion that
electricity and light were both forms of the same thing. This tells us
how we are able to use cellular phones to communicate to people across the
world without the use of wires.
From nothing
to something, or created for a purpose? From the possibility of the Big
Bang creating the Universe and the Earth, or Earth coincidentally being the
only life sustaining planet with the perfect attributes? Did we also gain
values, morals, and the way humans and animals are able to communicate through
the evolutionary process? Is it also a mere coincidence that there are
some things that were scientifically proven hundreds of years or thousands of
years ago in the Bible before they were actually discovered? Hopefully
this paper has either changed your mind to the possibility of there being a
Creator that designed you for a purpose or at least perhaps opened you up to
looking into that possibility for yourself.
