While other sources declared the earthsat on the back of an elephant orturtle, or was held up by Atlas, the
Bible alone states what we now knowto be trueHe hangs the earth on
nothing.
It was believed that somebody held the earth
But the Bible has declared since from ancient timeswhen still were no satellites and telescopes,that the earth is not held from nobody

The ocean is very deep. Almost all the oceanfloor is in total darkness and the pressurethere is enormous. It would have beenimpossible for Job to have explored the
"springs of the sea." Until recently, it wasthought that oceans were fed only by riversand rain. Yet in the 1970s, with the help ofdeep diving research submarines that were
constructed to withstand 6,000 pounds persquare inch pressure, oceanographersdiscovered springs on the ocean floors!

Only in the last century have we discoveredthat there are towering mountains anddeep trenches in the depths of the sea.
P.S. So when Bible tells about a fish thatswallowed Jonah, that is all true, for the
Jonah saw the mountains in the depths ofthe sea.

Three thousand years ago the Bibledescribed the paths of the seas. In the
19th century Matthew Maury the father of
oceanography after reading Psalm 8,researched and discovered ocean currents
that follow specific paths through the seas!
Utilizing Maurys data, marine navigatorshave since reduced by many days the timerequired to traverse the seas.

It was once thought that air wasweightless. Yet 4,000 years ago Job
declared that God established a
weight for the wind. In recent years,meteorologists have calculated thatthe average thunderstorm holds
thousands of tons of rain. To carry thisload, air must have mass.

When you reap the harvest of your
land, do not reap to the very edges ofyour fields or gather the gleanings ofyour harvest. Leave them fot the poor
and the alien. I am the LORD yourGod

Not only was the land to lay fallow every seventh year,but God also instructed farmers to leave the gleaningswhen reaping their fields, and not to reap the corners(sides) of their fields. This served several purposes:
1) Vital soil minerals would be maintained. 2) Thehedge row would limit wind erosion. 3) The poor couldeat the gleanings. Today, approximately fourbillion metric tons of soil are lost from U.S. crop landseach year. Much of this soil depletion could beavoided if Gods commands were followed.

He draws up the drops of water, whichdistill as rain to the streams, theclouds pour down their moisture and
abundant showers fall on mankind.

Four thousand years ago the Bible declared that
God draws up drops of water, which distill as rainfrom the mist, which the clouds drop down and pourabundantly on man (Job 36:27-28). The ancientsobserved mighty rivers flowing into the ocean, but theycould not conceive why the sea level never rose.Though they observed rainfall, they had only quainttheories as to its origin. Meteorologists now understand
that the hydrological cycle consists of evaporation,atmospheric transportation, distillation, and precipitationSee also (Ecclesiastes 1:7; Jeremiah 10:13; Amos 9:6).

Medical science has discovered that the bloodclotting chemical prothrombin peaks in a newbornon the eighth day. This is therefore the safest day
to circumcise a baby. How did Moses know?!

Some scientists scoffed at this verse thinkingthat it taught geocentricity the theory thatthe sun revolves around the earth. They insistedthe sun was stationary. However, we now know
that the sun is traveling through spaceat approximately 600,000 miles per hour.It is literally moving through space in ahuge circuit just as the Bible stated
3,000 years ago!

Can you bind beautifully Pleiades?Can you loose the cords of Orion?

The Pleiades star cluster is gavitationally
bound, while the Orion star cluster isloose and disintegrating because thegravity of the cluster is not enough tobind the group together. 4,000 yearsago God asked Job, "Can you bind thecluster of the Pleiades, or loose the beltof Orion?" Yet, it is only recently that
we realized that the Pleiades isgravitationally bound, but Orion's starsare flying apart.

This is what says the LORD He who
created the heavens and stretchedthem out(Isaiah 42:5) 700 B.C.
He alone stretches out theheavens

Repeatedly God declares that He stretches outthe heavens. During the early 20th century,most scientists (including Einstein) believedthe universe was static. Others believed it shouldhave collapsed due to gravity. Then in 1929,
astronomer Edwin Hubble showed that distantgalaxies were receding from the earth, and thefurther away they were, the faster they were moving.This discovery revolutionized the field of
astronomy. Einstein admitted his mistake, andtoday most astronomers agree with whatthe Creator told us millennia ago
the universe is expanding!
