Another striking evidence of divine inspiration is found in the fact that many of the principles of modern science were recorded as facts of nature in the Bible long before scientist confirmed them experimentally. A sampling of these would include: Almost infinite extent of the sidereal universe ( Isaiah 55:9), Law of conservation of mass and energy (II Peter 3:7), Hydrologic cycle (Ecclesiastes 1:7), Vast number of stars (Jeremiah 33:22), Law of increasing entropy (Psalm 102:25-27), Paramount importance of blood in life processes (Leviticus 17:11), Atmospheric circulation (Ecclesiastes 1:6), Gravitational field (Job 26:7), and many others. These are not stated in the technical jargon of modern science, of course, but in terms of the basic world of man's everyday experience; nevertheless, they are completely in accord with the most modern scientific facts. |
