Is There Proof That the Bible is God's Word? Part Two

THE BIBLE: IT PRESENTS THE MOST ADVANCED SCIENCE EVER

1. We need no more proof than this that the Bible is God's Word; nevertheless, God gave us more proof. Long before our scientists have ever thought of it, or our science had ever discovered it, the Holy Bible has either referred or alluded to it: Earth being round(1), Earth being suspended in empty space(2), plate tectonics(3), fractal geometry(4), space having physical structure(5), space being elastic(6), quantum mechanics(7), virtual particles(8), expansion of the universe(9), DNA(10), and two more fundamental forces(11), one of which we have only recently discovered, and the other--to my knowledge--has not even been conjectured yet by scientists, and this is just a partial list. Each one of these were scientific revolutions at the time they were theorized or discovered, and yet Scripture implied their existence and nature prior to even speculation of their existence let alone theories describing their nature.

OUR "MODERN" SCIENCE HAS NOT CAUGHT UP TO THE BIBLE'S SCIENCE

2. So has our "modern" science caught up to the Bible's scientific assertions? No, not even closely. Even though we live in a highly technological age of computers, cell phones, genetic engineering, organ transplants, nanomachines, space travel and automation; and even though we are currently in an era of remarkable discoveries as quantum mechanics, DNA, protein structure, black holes, expansion of the universe, dark matter and dark energy; and even though we have become so smart in unravelling( unravel means to ravel--look it up--so I'll leave it to you to determine how smart we are) the inextricable complexities of God's creation; nevertheless, the Bible alludes to concepts which has eluded some of our most brilliant scientific minds, and of which our science has yet to discover. This is an astonishing fact. We have had hundreds of perspicacious minds laboring over thousands of years to develop and "refine" what is now our contemporary science, and yet the Bible's science is over our head? Actually, this should not be so surprising as long as we remember that the Bible is not just any book; it is God's Book, and it is not just any scripture; it is God's Scripture. I do not think it is coincidental that some of the most advanced physics mentioned in the Bible is in the oldest book of the Bible---Job.

THE BIBLE TELLS US THE NATURE OF SPACE

According to Dake(12), "the book of Job" was written about 3,800 years ago. So how much over our head is the Bible's science compared to our contemporary science? I don't know. How much over our head is the sky including outer space and hyperspace( greater than 3D space)? But Richard before you attempt to answer those questions I'll give you a few examples to ponder(13): 1. Space having some sort of polarity(14), as magnetism's north and south, or electricity's positive and negative; or perhaps it is some sort of specific orientation. This could be the reason why electricity and magnetism have polarity. 2. Information being stored within, and emanation from, space itself but not necessarily within---or limited to---our space, but if not space then something very fundamental as superstrings( string theory is a hot topic in theoretical physics). 3. All light having been completely created but it exists as potential energy until stars and elementary particles release and dispense it from the conduit(15) within which it is stored. Albert(16) believes this conduit is very narrow and exists in hyperspace. He got this opinion from the Scriptures, not from his education in theoretical physics(17). 4. Darkness( physicists call it a vacuum field) having various levels of disorder(18) which determines the direction, intensity and amount of light( i.e. electromagnetic radiation) being emitted into our realm( 3D space). The greater the disorder, the less light we see. 5. The extent and degree of ordered structure within the darkness is directed by the aforementioned information stored within the fabric of space(19). This information, or in this case wisdom---discretionary information(19)---is responsible for the superseding of entropy. Entropy is the relentless tendency of things and systems to go from order to disorder(20); however, proper and dynamic employment of this information supersedes entropy.

OUR PRIMITIVE SCIENCE HAS QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE BIBLE'S SCIENCE

3. Oh, I know there are a lot of questions we need to clear up. For example, Albert tells me that our current science affirms it is the vacuum field that stores an enormous(21) amount of energy, not the narrow corridor where light is stored(Job.38:19). Albert intends to give argumentation attempting(22) to explain this discrepancy but this will be delayed until DRC expounds upon Wormwood's statement at. Another perplexity which needs to be cleared up is since we know that stars and subatomic particles emit photons( essentially light and other electromagnetic energy) then how do we correlate this with what we just said about the darkness? Albert's department(23) will tackle this puzzle when we explain Wormwood's statement at (29,55-57)(24) because we believe they are all inextricably related: wisdom(25), stretching of space, the darkness, the EMF(electromagnetic force), ordered energy and subatomic particles. The questions never end, especially when it comes to our puny and primitive science trying to figure out God's creation. When we think we have it figured out, we don't.

DNA AND JOB 38:36

I'll give you a personal example of what I mean. I became a Christian during my teenage years, and when I read Job 38:36( "Who has put wisdom in the inward parts?") it became a conundrum in my young mind. What wisdom(26), and what inward parts is God referring to, and why did He put it there in the first place? When I got to college I took a course in biology which gave me a basic understanding of DNA. Then it all made sense. All my questions concerning Job 38:36 were answered. I said to myself, "Of course, DNA is the inward parts to which God is referring. After all, it has all the chemical information by which protein molecules are made."

DNA IS NOT THE ORIGIN OF PROTEIN INFORMATION

Many years later I mentioned this to Albert, and he--throwing my advise(12,1-2) right back at me--said, "Think again, John. DNA represents nothing more than the paper upon which this information is written(4,17). The inward parts of Job 38:36 must be very inward indeed because the electromagnetic force(EMF) must have access to it. It is the EMF that constructs molecules, and DNA is a molecule. Information is stored in DNA's geometric(3,20-33) structure(4,18-19), and it is the EMF(15,45-33) that precisely determines those intricate structures(8,39-40)." Albert and many others(1,29-33) will go into much greater detail of this most fascinating subject when we explain Wormwood's statement at (29,48-53).

FORMIDABLE EVIDENCE OUGHT NOT BE IGNORED

4. Richard, I have given you some formidably convincing reasons why the Bible is truly God's Word. There are many more reasons but the ones in this letter are a powerful way to bring people to Jesus Christ(30,par.25). I think the reason for this is simple enough: this evidence is just too overwhelming, irresistible and irrefutable to deny. People may love their sin more than righteousness(2038,31-35) thereby choosing(7,44) to ignore(15,10) this evidence, but no one can deny it. No one can deny this evidence, at least not with sound and truthful argumentation. Oh, sure, I do not deny the fact that people can and do deny facts but denying facts does not change facts from being facts to not being facts, and this is a fact.

NEVER, EVER HAS GOD EXPECTED US TO BLINDLY BELIEVE IN HIM

Richard, there are facts proving the Bible is God's Word, and there are facts proving God's existence. Based on these evidences, God does not ask us to make a decision concerning Jesus Christ; He commands us to decide. Furthermore, He commands us to make the right decision. God is sovereign; He can do whatever He wants to do, but He is also just; therefore, in His sovereignty He will never do anything unjust. God is entirely just in demanding our obedience, and our adherence to Jesus Christ because there has never been anytime, nor will there be anytime, when God expected or expects anyone to blindly believe in Him. The earth itself could not contain all the books which could be written giving evidence of God's existence(27). His fingerprints are everywhere. From deep within the intricate structure of space to the mighty quasars(28) at the edge of our observable universe, and everything in between, God's omniscient and omnipotent fingerprints are there.

REFUSING TO SEE THE EVIDENCE LEADS TO DAMNATION

Anyone who cannot see this is dead(29); anyone who will not see this is in a coma(30). Either way, hell is our destination, not heaven, if we choose to ignore the copious evidences which God has supplied.

In His service,

John, your friend

ONGOING FOOTNOTES AND ANNOTATIONS

1. God's word told us the earth was round long before it was generally believed to be so. About 760BC(ref. Dake's Bible) Isaiah refers to earth as a sphere at Isaiah 40:22. Job was written at about 1843-1703 B.C.(Dake); nevertheless, at Job 22:14 the atmosphere is referred to as round. Strong's has circuit(#2329) meaning circle; i.e. earth is round.

2. At Job 26:7 is a fascinating verse: North is a spatial direction, and we normally think of it in this way. You may say to someone, "I live north of the city center" ; thereby giving the direction of the location where you live. But how is God referring to the north? He stretches out the north; therefore, we must conclude that space not only has physical structure but that it also has some sort of polarity. Although God stretches all of space as at Isaiah 44:24, He specifically distinguishes the north at Job 26:7. To my knowledge our science is not even aware of this polarity of space. We will discover this someday--just as we discovered that space does have physical structure--and when we do it will be another confirmation that God, and only God, is the true author of Scripture by inspiring His prophets to write as He dictated.

Also at Job 26:7 Scripture declares that the earth hangs in empty space, but I'm saying empty space, because that is how I understand the last clause of this verse; God is saying, "upon nothing." You can not hang something on nothing; therefore, I'm not fully understanding this verse. The point here is that Scripture implies earth is suspended in space, and this was not believed to be the case when this Scripture was written.
