Science lesson

The bible and Science can work together

We are taught in school that many years ago before people "evolved" enough to use science to discover The true nature of the world that people believed the bible literally and didn't understand the true nature of the World.
This is an attempt to undermine the validity of God's word.
It is my contention that people who knew God knew the true nature of the world.

These are the points this lesson makes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Dinosaurs lived in Bible days and were well known by Bible personalties
2 There were at one time on this Earth fire breathing dragons they are not myth, just extinct
3 Unicorns existed at one time on this Earth. And they weren't rhinoceroses
4 That the bible proves the theory of contintal drift but not over millions of years but in one lifetime
5 People in the bible were aware that the earth is round
6 People in the bible understood the earth hangs in empty space
7 The bible predicted television

Dinosaurs were alive in bible days; here is a description of a brakeisaurus

Job 40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Job 40:16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
Job 40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
Job 40:18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
Job 40:19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].
Job 40:20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

Can we find any evidence in the animal kingdom for a fire-breathing dragon?
Yes The Bombardier Beetle
The following description of one of God's fascinating creations was found in a book called The Collapse of Evolution by Scott Huse. Creatures like the bombardier beetle cause evolutionists to have cold sweats! Many other such examples are found in nature. They are reported in various books which critically investigate the evolutionary hypothesis. The bombardier beetle is a small insect that is armed with a shockingly impressive defense system. Whenever threatened by an enemy attack, this spirited little beetle blasts irritating and odious gases, which are at 212 degrees F. out from two tail pipes right into the unfortunate face of the would be aggressor. Dr. Wermann Schildknecht, a German chemist, studied the bombardier beetle to find out how he accomplishes this impressive chemical feat. He learned that the beetle makes his explosive by mixing together two very dangerous chemicals (hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide). In addition to these two chemicals, this clever little beetle adds another type of chemical known as an inhibitor. The inhibitor prevents the chemicals from blowing up and enables the beetle to store the chemicals indefinitely. Whenever our beetle friend is approached by a predator, such as a frog, he squirts the stored chemicals into the two combustion tubes, and at precisely the right moment he adds another chemical (an anti-inhibitor). This knocks out the inhibitor, and a violent explosion occurs right in the face of the poor attacker. Could such a marvelous and complex mechanism have evolved piecemeal over millions of years? The evolutionist is forced to respond with a somewhat sheepish "yes," but a brief consideration of this opinion will reveal its preposterous nature. According to evolutionary "thinking" there must have been thousands of generations of beetles improperly mixing these hazardous chemicals in fatal evolutionary experiments, blowing themselves to pieces. Eventually. we are assured, they arrived at the magic formula, but what about the development of the inhibitor? There is no need to evolve an inhibitor unless you already have the two chemicals you are trying to inhibit. On the other hand. if you already have the two chemicals without the inhibitor, it is already too late, for you have just blown yourself up. Obviously, such an arrangement would never arise apart from intelligent foresight and planning. Nevertheless, let us assume that our little beetle friend somehow managed to simultaneously develop the two chemicals along with the all- important inhibitor. The resultant solution would offer no benefit at all to the beetle, for it would just sit there as a harmless concoction. To be of any value to the beetle, the anti-inhibitor must he added to the solution. So, once again, for thousands of generations we are supposed to believe that these poor beetles mixed and stored these chemicals for no particular reason or advantage until finally, the anti- inhibitor was perfected. Now he is really getting somewhere! With the anti-inhibitor developed he can now blow himself to pieces, frustrating the efforts of the hungry predator who wants to eat him. Ah yes. he still needs to evolve the two combustion tubes, and a precision communications and timing network to control and adjust the critical direction and timing of the explosion. So, here we go again; for thousands of generations these carefree little beetles went around celebrating the 4th of July by blowing themselves to pieces until finally they mastered their new found powers. But what would be the motivation for such disastrous, trial and error, piecemeal evolution? Everything in evolution is supposed to make perfect sense and have a logical purpose, or else it would never develop. But such a process does not make any sense at all, and to propose that the entire defense system evolved all at once is astronomically improbable, if not impossible. Yet, nature abounds with countless such examples of perfect coordination. Thus, we can only conclude that the surprising little bombardier beetle is a strong witness for special creation, for there is no other rational explanation for such a wonder.

What about unicorns?
They are myth, Right?
No they were real There are several references to unicorns in the bible some of the most intriguing are

Numbers 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Numbers 24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows.
Job 39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?

Some people and some text books and reference works say that the writers were talking about a rhinoceroses
But I beg to differ have you ever seen a rhino do this?

Psalms 29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

Science tells us that the earth was one great continent and slowly drifted apart over millions of years
Well they are right ... kinda The fact is the earth was one content and drifted apart,
but not over millions of but in one mans lifetime

Genesis 10:24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
Genesis 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was] Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name [was] Joktan.

Long before modern science God's people knew the earth was round and hanging in empty space.
When pagans and the best scientists of the ancient world thought that the earth was flat and sat on the back of four giant turtles and were afraid that if you traveled too far you would fall off the earth God's people knew the truth about the nature of the earth and knew this couldn't happen
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The earth is round

Isaiah 40:21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
Isaiah 40:22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Isaiah 40:23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The earth hangs in space

Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Job 26:8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

There is nothing new

Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:10 Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

Knowledge will increase

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
