Scientific Accuracies Found Within The Bible
theridgeblog.com

In this modern day most people will admit to not reading the bible as much as they should. I can't judge because I am right along side of them. However I do enjoy reading the inspirational words of my father. That being said, I love science as well. When hearing the words bible and science together most people think they are opposites. Either you are a person of faith or science. Well I am a person of both. I believe science and the bible go hand and hand. I believe more discoveries would be made if we seek the information in a bible as we do in a textbook. They are both written by humans so why is one “foolish” to use over the other? Below I have composed just a small list of science proven facts that were found in the bible way before science ever figured it out…

The Earth Free Floats In Space.

This can be found in Job 26:7, at this time many believed the Earth sat on the back of an elephant or turtle. Yet here it is.

The Earth is made of atoms.

In the 19th century science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

light has no shadow.

In 1 John 1:5 It is stated that light has no shadow. Ever held a match up against a wall? Theres no shadow… Try it.

We are made from dust on the ground.

Scientists have discovered that the human body is comprised of some 28 base and trace elements – all of which are found in the earth. This can be found in Genesis 2:7, 3:19. Also in Genesis 2:7 it goes on and says “then God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, which sounds like what we do in CPR to me.

Pangea is mentioned in the bible.

Pangea is the idea that all of the continents were once all connected at one point in time and the oceans were all connected surrounding it. Look at a world map the continents looks like puzzle pieces. Well in Genesis 1:9-10, the bible clearly states that was the case.

God then went on to talk about continental drift.

This can be found in Genesis 7:11.Today the study of the ocean floor indicates that the landmasses have been ripped apart. Scripture states that during the global Flood the “fountains of the great deep were broken up.” This cataclysmic event apparently resulted in the continental plates breaking and shifting. Like Scientists have strong evidence for.

So there is a small list of scientific accuracies in the bible. There are many more that can be listed, if you know one comment below. Sometimes the answers are right in front of us, we just have to know where were looking.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
