Wisdom Discovered In An Ancient Text

In light of the modern discoveries of science and history which only confirm, rather than deny the infallibility of the Bible, it's beginning to be considered wise to take another look at the wisdome of the Bible. Many treasures truly are found in what has been rejected and/or overlooked.
This one nation under God should be aware of the amazing scientific facts about the Bible that cannot be said of any other book in the world. Dinosaurs are described in the Old Testament book of Job beginning at chapter 40 and verse 15, and again in chapter 41 at verse 1. The biblical passages of Genesis 22:17 and Jeremiah 33:22 tells man that the host (stars) of heaven cannot be counted. There is no technology that can tell scientists how many stars are in space. Ecclesiastes 1:6 describes the circulation of the wind as accurately as a meteorologist. Leviticus 17:11 teaches man that the blood is the life of the physical body. It is blood that carries nutrients and oxygen and life cannot be maintained without it. This is perfect Biology. Genesis 1:11-12, 1:21, and 1:25 describes biogenesis, which simply states that living things reproduce more living things that are like themselves. In the book of Job, chapter 30, verses 5 and 6, we have biblical insight to know that there once lived cavemen before any paintings of them were ever found. The biblical passages of Psalm 135:7, Jeremiah 10:13, Job 36:27-29, Ecclesiastes 1:7, and Isaiah 55:10 all speak of hydrology, perfectly describing atmospheric evaporation of water, precipitation, electrical discharges (lightning), and the circulation of water. These passages are so specific that they even tell man plainly that the world's rivers empty into the seas, which is scientifically accurate. Isaiah 40:22 speaks of Earth being round using the Hebrew word chuwg meaning circuit or compass, spherical or arched in shape. Man never had to wonder whether it was flat.

This list of the Bible's astoundingly accurate teachings on every branch of science, history, mathematics, and even philosophy is just a tiny sampling of the wisdom God offers. Defenders of evolution education are among the groups who have shown a high level of hypocrisy in that they often claim their opposition to the teaching of Creation science lies in the fact that it is inherently religious, and worse, the Bible is scientifically inaccurate. However, these same defenders gladly accept the offering of other alternatives to evolution such as the ancient myths found in Roman, Egyptian, and Greek mythology. If the Bible is nothing more than a Christian myth, why is it seen as a threat? If the Bible is not scientifically accurate, how are the mythological stories of ancient Egypt, Rome, and Greece scientific? What would be the difference to the evolutionist between teaching that the God of the Bible created all things and teaching that the Greek god Zeus is creator? The answers lies in what the rest of the Bible teaches and what the rest of Greek mythology teaches. The problem is that the Bible does not only teach science but also commands men everywhere to repent and believe the Gospel, whereas Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology do not teach such things. When one is cornered with the fact that the science, math, history, and predictions of the Bible have never failed, it is unwise to reject its commandment to believe on the Son of God for the remission of sins.
