Science doesn't contradict the Bible because science is the study of the physical world. It can't confirm or disprove supernatural happenings.
It's actually the inspired word of God.
Yes, Christ confirmed it.
The Bible says a Great Fish, and who says he was alive before he was coughed up?
We know these things defy natural law. Miracles are supposed to do that.
No, science is a field of study. What it does in relation to our lives depends on how it is applied.
No, ignorance is.
I could demonstrate scientific facts from them, actually.
Were you well educated, you would know that the Bible does hint at things science didn't know until hundreds of years later.
Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
Medical science has only recently discovered that blood-clotting in a newborn reaches its peak on the eighth day, then drops. The Bible consistently says that a baby must be circumcised on the eighth day.
At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or a giant (1500 B.C.), the Bible spoke of the earth’s free float in space: "He...hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7).
The prophet Isaiah also tells us that the earth is round: "It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22). This is not a reference to a flat disk, as some skeptic maintain, but to a sphere. Secular man discovered this 2,400 years later. It was the Scriptures that inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world (Proverbs 3:6).
God told Job in 1500 B.C.: "Can you send lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?" (Job 38:35). The Bible here is making what appears to be a scientifically ludicrous statement—that light can be sent, and then manifest itself in speech. But did you know that radio waves travel at the speed of light? This is why you can have instantaneous wireless communication with someone on the other side of the earth. Science didn’t discover this until 1864 when "British scientist James Clerk Maxwell suggested that electricity and light waves were two forms of the same thing".
Job 38:19 asks, "Where is the way where light dwells?" Modern man has only recently discovered that light (electromagnetic radiation) has a "way," traveling at 186,000 miles per second.
Science has discovered that stars emit radio waves, which are received on earth as a high pitch. God mentioned this in Job 38:7: "When the morning stars sang together..."
Solomon described a "cycle" of air currents two thousand years before scientists "discovered" them. "The wind goes toward the south, and turns about unto the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits" (Ecclesiastes 1:6).
Science expresses the universe in five terms: time, space, matter, power, and motion. Genesis 1:1,2 revealed such truths to the Hebrews in 1450 B.C.: "In the beginning [time] God created [power] the heaven [space] and the earth [matter] . . . And the Spirit of God moved [motion] upon the face of the waters." The first thing God tells man is that He controls of all aspects of the universe.
The great biological truth concerning the importance of blood in our body’s mechanism has been fully comprehended only in recent years. Up until 120 years ago, sick people were "bled," and many died because of the practice. If you lose your blood, you lose your life. Yet Leviticus 17:11, written 3,000 years ago, declared that blood is the source of life: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood."
Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 1845, a young doctor in Vienna named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the terrible death rate of women who gave birth in hospitals. As many as 30 percent died after giving birth. Semmelweis noted that doctors would examine the bodies of patients who died, then, without washing their hands, go straight to the next ward and examine expectant mothers. This was their normal practice, because the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. Semmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands before examinations, and the death rate immediately dropped to 2 percent. Look at the specific instructions God gave His people for when they encounter disease: "And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean" (Leviticus 15:13). Until recent years, doctors washed their hands in a bowl of water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. However, the Bible says specifically to wash hands under "running water."
Luke 17:34–36 says the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will occur while some are asleep at night and others are working at daytime activities in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night at the same time.
Nothing in the Bible, however, suggests that God is limited by natural laws.
Four compass points on a map; east, west, south and north. Incidentally, Jesus knew that east and west never met but north and south did 1,500 years before anyone else did.
Then you are a prisoner of your own ignorance. God, not science, is lord of the universe.
Again, your ignorance of the Lord is showing here.
Suppose I hand you a rock. That rock is in a constant state of decay, so we know it's not eternal. It is comprised of minerals which cannot be created from nothing. Yet it exists. The origination of anything from nothing is impossible and yet if something is in a constant state of decay (or increasing entropy) it had to have a beginning. Science can't explain origination.
God, however, could create that rock by force of will. So you believe in something that has no answer and reject something which does. Logical? Not at all.
Need further proof? Okay. Energy and matter are convertible. God has endless energy. God's energy can convert into matter.
Millions who have a personal relationship with Jesus would laugh at your ignorance in this statement. You might as well say our neighbor doesn't exist. Just because you lack a complete understanding of reality, it doesn't mean we're all blind.
You realize there were over 500 witnesses, right?
You DO realize that these 500 people could have shouted down any story anyone could make up were it not true, right.... and that the penalty for heresy was execution?
You know that the witnesses went to their grave without denying what they saw, right?
I doubt you could find 500 people who would testify that you exist, which means the resurrection has more evidence than you do.
