The Bible, like other religious texts, can be open to interpretation and is not scientifically confirmed in its entirety. Despite this, certain verses within the popular book have been proven true by scientific evidence. Curious to learn more? Check out the gallery below to explore the sections of the Bible that have been validated by science.
Earth Is Round
Science has verified that the Earth is round, despite certain conspiracy theories. The Bible also supports this, stating, “He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth” (Isaiah 40:22).
The Planet’s Core Is Hot
The idea of the Earth’s core being hot is reinforced by Job 28:5, which states: “The earth, from which food comes, is transformed below as by fire.“
Earth Floats In Space
For those seeking biblical validation of the Earth being suspended in space, refer to Job 26:7, where it states: “He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.“
Water Alters Form
The hydrologic cycle, also called the water cycle, is a widely recognized process. Interestingly, this concept is mentioned in the Bible multiple times. Ecclesiastes 1:7 states: “All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.”
Water Changes Form
Amos 9:6 also references it here: “He calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land.”. Similarly, Job 36:27-28 states: “He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.“
Water Changes Form
Psalm 135:7 presents another illustration: “He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.“
The Massive Flood Probably Occurred
The story of The Great Flood and Noah’s Ark is well-known in the Bible. Geological evidence suggests that the flood described in the story could be based on real events.
The Ark Could Have Succeeded
In Genesis 6:13-22, Noah was given instructions from God: “The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.“
The Ark Would Still Have Functioned
According to calculations made by physics students at the University of Leicester in 2014, it has been discovered that the math behind the ark is accurate. This means that the ark would have floated and successfully transported pairs of each animal species during the flood.
The Sky Is Filled With Endless Stars
It is widely known that the universe contains an immense number of stars. To be precise, each galaxy can accommodate up to a trillion stars, with approximately 100 billion galaxies existing in the universe.
The Sky Is Filled With Countless Stars
The Bible even has a mention of this in Jeremiah 33:22: “I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.”
Not All Stars Are Made Equal
The Bible acknowledges that the brightness or magnitude of stars differs. “The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.” (Corinthians 15:41).
Celestial Objects Have A Limited Lifetime
It is now understood that stars and other celestial bodies experience death, a fact validated by science and also mentioned in the Bible.
Celestial Objects Have A Limited Lifetime
The scripture Matthew 24:35 states, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.“
