Bible History – ScienceA study of Bible history reveals that many of the authors of the Bible were scientists, but never given any credit. But that is most likely the way they wanted so God would get the glory,Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear (Hebrews 11:3).We are now going to look at some of the scientific principles described in the Bible.
Stars Cannot Be NumberedAstronomers believe there are about one hundred thousand million stars in the Milky Way, the galaxy where the Sun is located. They also believe that there are at least that many galaxies as well, but even with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) they are still left shaking their heads. Follow the link to view photographs taken by HST of the nearby galaxy NGC 300 where the stars appear as individual grains of sand on a beach.Moses wrote some 3500 years ago,
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be (Genesis 15:5). About 1000 years later the prophet Jeremiah added,
As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David my servant...(Jeremiah 33:22). The good news out of these two prophecies preserved for Bible history is that there will be many, many born again believers before the return of Jesus Christ.

God Agrees with Laws of ThermodynamicsThe First law of Thermodynamics is the Law of Conservation of Energy and it states that "energy cannot be created or destroyed".This means that energy can be transferred from one place to another or transformed from one state to another but in doing so there is no creation or destruction of that energy. You might say "How can that be - if a piece of wood burns it is destroyed? The answer is that the energy that was in the "mass" of the piece of wood was transformed into "heat" and "light" as well as combustion gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water vapors and other assundry products. The First Law of Thermodynamics was developed in the 1800's. Moses first penned it 3500 years ago,
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made (Genesis 2:2). This categorically means that a "trilobite" did not turn into man!

Entropy is an expression where differences in pressure, temperature and density tend to equalize over a period of time in any isolated physical system. By definition entropy increases over time as the system reaches equilibrium. For the world as we know it, this means that all elements, systems or forms of energy tend to degrade to a lower order of organization. One way to help understand this law, is that heat cannot transfer from a cold body to a hot body. You would not expect to get warm by standing outside in freezing temperatures. The Second law of Thermodynamics was established in the nineteenth century. On the other hand, Darwin penned the exact opposite theory in 1859, that in fact entropy decreases on earth over time, when he presented the theory of evolution. Darwin and his followers today, many of them scientists, who know and understand the Law of Increasing Entropy get mired in their transgression against God,

The Hydrological CycleToday we fully understand the basic principles of the hydrological cycle: condensation and formation of clouds, precipitation, runoff to the lakes and oceans and evaporation of the water from the lakes and oceans. People living in past centuries did not understand this process even though the Bible describes these details,
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them (Job 26:8).
