John Clayton, a high school science teacher, endeavored to prove the Bible a fraud. Instead, he proved the accuracy of the Bible. He now publishes a magazine entitled Does God Exist?
Lee Stroebel, the former award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune, bestselling author and lecturer, was determined to disprove the Bible. Instead, this atheist was converted to Christ.
How were they convicted by God’s Word? Is the Bible a fraud? Anyone, speaking in almost any language, living in any part of the world can find truth by searching the Bible.
The apostle Paul wrote, “Let God be true and every man a liar” (Romans 3:4). These enemies of God changed!
In elementary school we were taught that planets orbit around the sun. Did you know that our sun also has an orbit? In June, 1999, astronomers discovered the sun’s orbit. It travels at 600,000 miles per hour!
In the 9th century B.C., King David wrote, “The sky is like a home for the sun. The sun comes out like a happy groom coming from his bedroom. It rejoices like an athlete eager to run a race. The sun rises from one end of the sky, and it follows its path to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat“ (Psalm 19:4-6).
Brad Harrub, PhD, explains that this Bible verse indicates the sun’s orbit. It has a “path.”
Job, a contemporary of Abraham, lived about 2,000 B.C. God asked Job,“What is the path to where light lives!? And, where does darkness dwell!?” ( Job 38:19). Dr. Harrub explains that this passage indicates light traveling a path.
Light travels at 186,000 miles per second! Darkness only has a place. This scientific truth was first proposed by Sir Isaac Newton during the 16th century B.C. It is accepted as scientific knowledge today.
In Job 38:16, God asked Job, “Have you searched in the valleys, walking on the ocean floor!?”
Oceanographers have known since the 19th century that the ocean has valleys and mountains. Many have asked, “Where did all that water go” after Noah’s flood? The Bible tells us that the flood waters receded and “the water drained. It began to go down…” (Genesis 8:3) That water went down to those valleys. The Mariana Trench is seven miles deep! That’s where some of the water went. The Bible writer, Moses, wrote those words sometime during the 15th-12th centuries, B.C.! Point: How did Moses know this about 3,500 years before science discovered it?
Look for these and many other scientific truths from God’s Word, in your own Bible. Is the Bible a fraud? Prove it!
