I was reading “The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome.” over at HotAir.com but because I cant comment over there, I will comment here.
Reading that article and the links within, showed me some things that I hadn’t thought of before; and only goes to prove even more so that God is real. One of the links “Genesis: Relic Or Relevant?” really goes into the proof of the Bibles truth.
Written more than 3,000 years ago, Genesis 1 is an attempt to explain where creation came from. Its tone is remarkably dry and scientific for such an age. Competing theories of our origins from that time ranged wildly, from an earth resting on infinite stack of turtles to an earth that was a giant egg laid by a great cosmic bird, to an Olympian god hoisting it on his shoulders.
While all other cultures at the time believed those other weird things, the Bible had some real scientific evidence. This is something I have thought long and hard about in the past.
While watching National Geographic Channel the other day, A scientists believed he had discovered the first plant life ever on Earth. The Plant that gave life to all living things. We all learned as little kids in school that we can not breath without plants giving us oxygen.
Genesis 1:11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
Scientists believe that sea creatures were the first on the earth; and so says the bible. Science believes Birds came from the water. Right after God created the sea life, he created birds.
Genesis 1:20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
Science believes that land animal also came from the water. Isn’t it weird how the Bible says that land animals came after both the sea creatures, and the Birds.
Genesis 1:24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Science believes that Man came after all the plants, and all the animals. Guess what, so says the Bible.
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
It looks to me like science and the Bible both seem to agree on the order in which things were created. One small problem though. The Bible says this all happened in 6 days, and scientist believe it took millions of years. Because you want to believe science so much I will give you the finial proof. Go back and read “Genesis: Relic Or Relevant?” Good old Einstein, and his theory of relativity, will set you free.
…Einstein, who found that time isn’t constant, but depends on gravity and velocity. Where mass is unimaginably huge, gravity dominates and time is slowed or even halted, such as in a black hole, a point so massive that nothing, including light, escapes its gravity. Where there is less mass, time moves along at a decent clip. Velocity also influences time—the faster you go, the slower time passes for you. In other words, the passage of time dilates depending on circumstances. Take your Genesis clock off the earth and set it for the whole universe. An hour to the universe, due to the mass and velocity difference, is an epoch to the tiny earth. A day to the universe, an era to the earth. So a day can contain an age, as Psalm 90:4 says, “For a thousand years in Thy sight are like yesterday when it passes by, or as a watch in the night.”
Science Proves the Bible is true.
