Harmony of Science and Scripture

Top Highlights

“It is not surprising to find that the Hebrews were the only ancient people who were taught the Earth was round and not flat. The Hebrew word khug is translated ‘circle;’ however, a more exact connotation would be ‘sphericity’ or ‘roundness.’” (source)

“The phrase ‘all their hosts’ in the Hebrew carries the meaning of ‘everything therein.’ The writers of both Genesis and Hebrews attest to the fact that nothing new has been added to the universe since it was finished at the time of its origin. It is made clear in the first two chapters of Genesis (Gen. 1:31; 2:1–3), that whatever methods God used to create. He stopped after the sixth day. The things He created can reproduce after their own kind, but He has stopped making further additions to His creations.” (source)

“Matthew Maury was an officer in the U.S. Navy in the early 1800s. He was in charge of the charts and records used by Navy ships. One day when he was sick in bed, his wife read to him from Psalm 8. When he heard the words, ‘the paths of the seas,’ he wondered how that could be. But he decided if God said so it must be true, and he set out to find those paths.” (source)

“During the period in which the Old Testament was written, ignorance, superstition and foolishness dominated the minds of ungodly men. Taking this into consideration, absence of scientific error in the Word of God is astounding, especially as one studies other ancient writings and sees the obvious scientific blunders.” (source)

“He (God) sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work (Job 37:7 KJV).” (source)
