God asks the ultimate question of Job that ought to be asked of evolutionary science: "Where were you when I laid the Earth's foundation?"...

"God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end for which He formed them."
- Sir Isaac Newton
 
"If we conceive God's sight or science, before the creation, to be extended to all and every part of the world, seeing everything as it is, . . . his science or sight from all eternity lays no necessity on anything to come to pass." --Hammond.

"I cannot believe that God would choose to play dice with the universe." - Einstein

"God is going to reveal to us things He never revealed before if we put our hands in His. No books ever go into my laboratory. The thing I am to do and the way of doing it are revealed to me. I never have to grope for methods. The method is revealed to me the moment I am inspired to create something new. Without God to draw aside the curtain I would be helpless." - George Washington Carver
 
"Science is . . . a complement of cognitions, having, in point of form, the character of logical perfection, and in point of matter, the character of real truth." --Sir W. Hamilton.

Science: Accumulated and established knowledge, which has been systematized and formulated with reference to the discovery of truths and/or the operation of general laws; knowledge classified and made available in work, life, or the search for truth; comprehensive, profound, mathematical and philosophical knowledge. -- Especially, such knowledge when it relates to the physical world and its phenomena, the nature, constitution, and forces of matter, the qualities and functions of living tissues, etc.; -- called also physical science.

THE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS DISPROVE THE THEORY OF
EVOLUTION. EVERYTHING GOES FROM A STATE OF ORDER TO A STATE OF DISORDER, AND TO BELIEVE EVOLUTION YOU HAVE TO DENY REALITY. THERMODYNAMICS ARE THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICAL LAWS, THE BREAKINGS AND BUILDINGS OF MOLECULAR STRUCTURES. LOOK AT AT THE BIG BANG. FROM WHAT DID THE BIG BANG EVOLVE? NOTHING,
RIGHT? IT DIDN'T EVOLVE.  IT JUST HAPPENED, AND THAT'S THE FOUNDING THEORY OF EVOLUTION, A HYPOCRISY. THE TRUTH IS THAT SOMEONE (GOD),  LOVED US ENOUGH TO CREATE US OUT OF NOTHING. 

THE SMALLEST LIVING ORGANISISM IS 1 CELL, THE NEXT LARGEST SIZE IS 49 CELLS  (BOTH HAVE AN EXTREMELY COMPLEX DNA STRUCTURE, 7X7 A MULTIPLE OF PRIME NUMBERS, NOT AN EVOLUTIONARY  "ONE SPLITS INTO TWO"  SYSTEM). THE LATEST RESEARCH IN MOLECULAR PHYSICS HAS COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (APPROXIMATLY 10 TO THE 34th POWER) JEWLS (POWER UNIT) NEEDS TO BE INPUTED INTO THE WHOLE UNVERSE EVERY SECOND TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING COMPLETELY APART. EVOLUTIONIST HAVE YET TO EXPLAIN FROM WHERE THIS ENERGY COMES, BUT (--- THIS IS ENOUGH ENERGY TO LIGHT NEW YORK CITY FOR 200 YEARS --) THIS IS PART OF THE WILL OF GOD-PLAIN AND SIMPLE-. THE WORD SAYS IF HE WOULD TAKE HIS EYES OFF THIS WORLD FOR A SECOND , IT WOULD BE GONE.  WE SHOULD ALL BE ETERNALLY THANKFUL TO HIM, BECAUSE THAT WHICH HE CREATED HE CAN DESTROY. DON'T YOU NOTICE HOW MUCH EASIER IS IT TO DESTROY OLD THINGS THAN TO BUILD OR CREATE NEW ONES, AND IF THE WORLD WAS CREATED IN A "BANG" HOW MUCH FASTER CAN IT BE DESTROYED?

YES, GOD IS REAL. SCIENCE DOES PROVE IT BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT, AND TO DENY THE EXISTENCE OF GOD IS TO DENY REALITY AND THE VERY WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE.

1 Timothy 6
20... ...Guard and keep the deposit entrusted [to you]! Turn away from the irreverent babble and godless chatter, with the vain and empty and worldly phrases, and the subtleties and the contradictions in science falsely so called:
and in what is falsely called knowledge and spiritual illumination.
21[For] by making such profession some have erred (missed the mark) as regards the faith. Grace (divine favor and blessing) be with you all! Amen (so be it).


 

 

MATHEMATICAL AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE!

Caution: RAMPS bomb coming in at close range!!!!

There exists infinite mathematical relationships throughout the Bible.  Some relationships are so unlikely that the probability of their occurring is billions to one against.  Sir Isaac Newton, who carries the distinct title of "the father of science" is credited for discovering the Universal Law of Gravity, invention of Calculus and other forms of advanced math publicly credited all his scientific discoveries to the direct inspiration of the Bible. Calculus he thought, provided better a way of understanding God's amazing universe and the kingdom that awaited those who took to studying God's written word. Many including Daniel Bernoulli, who is credited with his discovery of the Law of Hydrodynamic Pressure, shared this view as it related to math, science and the Bible.

 At the turn of the century a Harvard scholar and mathematician of Russian birth stirred up more proverbial dust upon discovering that the Biblical text itself was mathematically formatted.  Dr. Ivan Panin was born December 12, 1855, participated in plots against the Czar at an early age,  was exiled and, after spending some years studying in Germany, came to the United States and entered Harvard. In 1882 he converted from agnosticism to Christianity and devoted the remainder of his life to the discovery of these mathematical relationships. The irony being that modernday, Harvard liberals vehemently attempt to disprove Dr. Panin's findings as religious bias or strange coincidences but  have been unable to come close to incorporating 30 mathematical multiples of 7 in any text they could produce as found in the Hebrew words of Genesis 1:1, despite their advanced mathematical abilities and access to modern computers.  Dr. Panin died in 1942, after devoting fifty years of work on Biblical Math. 

 Dr. Panin has submitted conclusive proof that the Bible could not have been produced by the unaided or natural human mind.  It is a well known fact that the number seven is found throughout the universe.  It is the signature of God the Creator; the number of completion and perfection.  Dr. Panin used the Received Hebrew text for the Old Testament and Greek for the New Testament.  The following, is an abbreviated example of some of the phenomenon found by Dr. Panin, which holds true for all the scriptures.

  • The number of words and numeric value in the vocabulary are divisible by seven.
  • The number of words beginning with a vowel is divisible by seven.
  • The number of words beginning with a consonant is divisible by seven.
  • The number of letters in the vocabulary is divisible by seven.  Of these letters, those which are consonants and those which are vowels are divisible by seven.
  • The number of nouns that occur more than once is divisible by seven.
  • The number occurring only once likewise divides by seven.
  • The number that are not nouns divides by seven.
  • The male names divide by seven, the female names divide by seven.
  • The number of words beginning with each letter of the alphabet is divisible by seven.
  • Both Hebrew, Chaldee and Greek have a value for each letter but they also have a place value from their place in the alphabet.  The full value of a Hebrew or Greek word is the sum of its numeric value and its place value.  The full value of the word Jesus is 975.  Numeric value of 888 plus its place value of 87.
  • The numeric value of various alphabetical groups is divisible by seven.
  • The numeric value of various forms in which words occur produce the same phenomenon.
  • The Greek word "the" occurs most frequently in the passage: exactly 56 times, or 7 x 8. 
  •  Also, the number of different forms in which the article "the" occurs is exactly 7.
  • There are two main sections in the passage: verse 1-11 and 12-17. In the first main section, the number of Greek vocabulary words used is 49, or 7 x 7.
  • Three women are mentioned-Tamar, Rahab, and Ruth. The number of Greek letters in these three names is 14, or 7 x 2. 
  •  The number of compound nouns is 7.
  • The number of Greek letters in these 7 nouns is 49, or 7 x 7. 
  •  Only one city is named in this passage, Babylon, which in Greek contains exactly 7 letters.
    And on and on it goes.

Dr. Panin challenged any man to write one paragraph of 300 words intelligently and produce some numeric phenomenon of like designs and complete it in six months.  No man has offered.  From Genesis to Revelation, the evidence of the hand of God is irrefutable.  Therefore skeptic, your quarrel is not with the believer, but with God Himself. By the way, * the crucifixion of Jesus took place at Golgotha, elevation = 777 meters above sea level. What a coincidence.

7's and 11's in the Bible :

  • There are 66 books total, but they are in different order than our English versions.
  • There are 66 books or 6 11's.
  • The books written by anonymous authors is 22 or 2 11's.
  • The books written by known authors is 44 or 4 11's.  Of these 44, 22 or 2 11's are attributed to authors of more than one book and 22 or 2 11's belong to writers of only one book.
  • The books are numbered 1- 66 the sum of which is 2,211 or 201 11's.
  • The sum of the numbers of the 22 books of authors of more than one book is 946 or 86 11's.
  • The other 44 total 1265 or 115 11's.
  • Of the 66 books, 21 are epistles.  The sum of their numbers is 1,155 or 105 11's.
  • The sum of the non-epistles is 1,056 or 96 11's.
  • The sum of the numbers of the new testament books which contain old testament quotes by Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Joel and Daniel is 132 or 12 11's.
  • If you look at the numeric value of the bible authors names the sum is 7,931 or 11 x 7 x 103 or 721 11's. The sum of the factors 7, 11, 103, is 121 or 11 11's.
  • The Bible begins with the Hebrew word "beginning" and ends with the Greek word hagios "saint".  The Hebrew word occurs in 42 books or 6 7's.  The respective numbers of these books in the order of their place and their sum is 1,575 or 225 7's.

The chance for these features of 7's and 11's happening together is one in billions.  Each feature noted above is no coincidence but is there by intelligent design; or as we at R.A.M.P.S. would say, creation.  The value of these discoveries is in their power to strengthen and encourage the faith of both believers and especially non-believers in these last days. The scripture discloses itself as a parchment which when held up to the light reveals the autograph of its Creator; a script that bears a flawless mathematical pattern.  Any change in the Word and the math doesn't work.

Hence the seriousness of the Bible's last Words:

Revelation 22: 18  For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book,....
 If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19  And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

We are told great treasures lie in the Words of God through the scriptures we have been given. An entire book itself could be attributed to the various depths and levels of understanding as it relates to the Bible. It would stretch from basic remedial intepretation to spiritual understanding, math, science, history, prophecy, codes, etc.  The commandment to  "make disciples of all nations" is not given without understanding the skepticism and persecution to come as a result. Therefore let your beliefs not be in vain, but in the knowledge and comfort of (His) truth that stretches beyond your doubts.   

 

Mathematicians have long discovered the number for Pi, the ratio of circumference to it's diameter, coded into the original Hebrew text of the Bible in the word that means circumference. Apparently the Hebrew word for circumference is spelled with an extra letter added on for no reason. The actual number for the circumference in the text illustrates Pi rounded to 3

The following is an excerpt from Jochen Katz entitled Pi in the Bible 

   1 Kings 7:23 He [Solomon] made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim [diameter = 10] and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it. [circumference = 30]

Since circumference = PI x diameter as any elementary geometry book will tell you, but the Bible "seemingly" tells us that PI = 3. Since "this is obviously false, therefore the Bible cannot be from God..." is how some people like to reason.

But obviously the wisdom of God is greater than the wisdom of man:

In this case the word for circumference = "line" ( in Hebrew)
But in this verse "line" is written with an extra letter (  ).

Since Hebrew has no digits, all letters are also numbers, we can take the ratio of (the gematriacal value of) the unusual word form (   ) to the regular word form ( ). Given that the gematrial letter values are = 100, = 6, and = 5 we find that:

++ +
Ratio
5 + 6 + 100 = 111 6 + 100 = 106 111/106 = 1.0471698

False number for PI Ratio TOTAL
3 multiplied by
1.0471698 = 3.14150943...

The real value: PI = 3.1415926...

The difference between 3 x 111/106 and PI is 0.0000832 which is only an error of 0.00026%.

It is interesting to compare the "Solomonic" approximation of PI with the approximations used by the Babylonians and Egyptians.

                              PI
                                    = 3.1415926...      Error
                                    
                                    Babylon  :     3 1/8   =  25/8   = 3.125             0.0165926
                                    Egypt    :     3 13/81 = 256/81  = 3.16049382...     0.0189012
                                    "Solomon":               333/106 = 3.14150943...     0.0000832
                                    

But given that the value "3" is within less than 5% error compared to the real value of PI = 3.14159... this is an acceptable approximation, even though "31 cubits" length would have been the (correctly rounded) answer that we might have expected. But who knows what "rounding" entailed in these days. And in a certain sense "30" is a "rounder" number than "31". And these last remarks are made all under the assumption that this above mentioned astonishing approximation is NOT intended.

Another interesting aspect, the letters used here    are the only letters in Hebrew that will reveal this ratio with the difference between the gematriacal value of 3 letters and 2 letters. In other words this is the absolute lowest mathematical sequence in Hebrew to produce this ratio.

Taking into account further information a few verses later, provides us with yet another way of understanding the text. In 1 Kings 7:26 we read about this metal pool:

1 Kings 7:26 It [the above mentioned metal pool] was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.
which we can imagine to be like:

    
                                        `\                           /'  d = the measured diameter between 
                                          |                         |        the extreme points of the rim
                                          |                         |        
                                          |                         |    but circumference is measured below 
                                          |                         |        the rim at the actually smaller
                                          |                         |        diameter c
                                          \_________________________/
                                       *--------------d-----------------* 
                                                                     |/'
                                          *-----------c------------*
                                    
                                    

Given this information and assuming that exact numbers are given we could even calculate the width of the rim, if we want to... [that is a home work problem for the interested reader]. -Jochen Katz

 

Science, Nature and Scripture

We believe that nature and Scripture, properly interpreted, do not conflict. God has communicated to humankind both by general revelation (nature, or the observable universe) and special revelation (the Bible). Since both of these revelations come from God -- and since God does not contradict Himself -- we must conclude that these two revelations are in agreement with each other. While there may be conflicts between one's interpretation of the observable universe and one's interpretation of the Bible, there is no ultimate contradiction.

We might say that science is a fallible human interpretation of the observable universe while theology is a fallible human interpretation of the Scriptures. If the secularist challenges the idea that science can be fallible, remind him or her of what science historian Thomas Kuhn proved in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions -- that is, science is in a constant state of change. New discoveries have consistently caused old scientific paradigms to be discarded in favor of newer paradigms. Again, truth is constant, never changing and is superior to fact, which is subjective to the supporting evidence, which is subject to truth. A simple truth outweighs a cold, hard fact any day of the year.



It is not nature and Scripture that contradict; rather, it is science so-falsely-called (man's fallible interpretation of nature) and theology (man's fallible interpretation of Scripture) that sometimes fall into conflict.

THE FOLLOWING IS AN ARTICLE FROM christiananswers.net
Did Bible writers believe the earth WAS FLAT?

No, this false idea is not taught in Scripture!
Some Bible critics have claimed that Revelation 7:1 assumes a flat earth since the verse refers to angels standing at the "four corners" of the earth. Actually, the reference is to the cardinal directions: north, south, east, and west. Similar terminology is often used today when we speak of the sun's rising and setting, even though the earth, not the sun, is doing the moving. Bible writers used the "language of appearance," just as people always have. Without it, the intended message would be awkward at best and probably not understood clearly. [DD]

In the Old Testament, Job 26:7 explains that the earth is suspended in space, the obvious comparison being with the spherical sun and moon. [DD]

A literal translation of Job 26:10 is "He described a circle upon the face of the waters, until the day and night come to an end." A spherical earth is also described in Isaiah 40:21-22 - "the circle of the earth."

Proverbs 8:27 also suggests a round earth by use of the word circle (e.g., New King James Bible and New American Standard Bible). If you are overlooking the ocean, the horizon appears as a circle. This circle on the horizon is described in Job 26:10. The circle on the face of the waters is one of the proofs that the Greeks used for a spherical earth. Yet here it is recorded in Job, ages before the Greeks discovered it. Job 26:10 indicates that where light terminates, darkness begins. This suggests day and night on a spherical globe. [JSM]

The Hebrew record is the oldest, because Job is one of the oldest books in the Bible. Historians generally [wrongly] credit the Greeks with being the first to suggest a spherical earth. In the sixth century B.C., Pythagoras suggested a spherical earth. [JSM]

Eratosthenes of Alexandria (circa 276 to 194 or 192 B.C.) calcuated the circumference of the earth "within 50 miles of the present estimate." [Encyclopedia Brittanica]

The Greeks also drew meridians and parallels. They identified such areas as the poles, equator, and tropics. This spherical earth concept did not prevail; the Romans drew the earth as a flat disk with oceans around it. [JSM]

The round shape of our planet was a conclusion easily drawn by watching ships disappear over the horizon and also by observing eclipse shadows, and we can assume that such information was well known to New Testament writers. Earth's spherical shape was, of course, also understood by Christopher Columbus. [DD]

The implication of a round earth is seen in the book of Luke, where Jesus described his return, Luke 17:31. Jesus said, "In that day," then in verse 34, "In that night." This is an allusion to light on one side of the globe and darkness on the other simultaneously. [JSM]

"When the Bible touches on scientific subjects, it is entirely accurate." [DD]

But, doesn't the Bible refer to "the four corners of the earth." How can a spherical earth have corners?

Perhaps no phrase in Scripture has been so controversial as the phrase, "the four corners of the earth." The word translated "corners," as in the phrase above, is the Hebrew word, KANAPH. Kanaph is translated in a variety of ways. However, it generally means extremity.
It is translated "borders" in Numbers 15:38. In Ezekiel 7:2 it is translated "four corners" and again in Isaiah 11:12 "four corners." Job 37:3 and 38:13 as "ends."

The Greek equivalent in Revelation 7:1 is gonia. The Greek meaning is perhaps more closely related to our modern divisions known as quadrants. Gonia literally means angles, or divisions. It is customary to divide a map into quadrants as shown by the four directions.

Some have tried to ridicule the Bible to say that it teaches that the earth is square. The Scripture makes it quite clear that the earth is a sphere (Isaiah 40:22).

Some have tried to say there are four knobs, or peaks on a round earth. Regardless of the various ways kanaph is translated, it makes reference to EXTREMITIES.

There are many ways in which God the Holy Spirit could have said corner. Any of the following Hebrew words could have been used:


Pinoh is used in reference to the cornerstone.
Paioh means "a geometric corner"
Ziovyoh means "right angle" or "corner"
Krnouth refers to a projecting corner.
Paamouth - If the Lord wanted to convey the idea of a square, four-cornered earth, the Hebrew word paamouth could have been used. Paamouth means square.
Instead, the Holy Spirit selected the word kanaph, conveying the idea of extremity.
It is doubtful that any religious Jew would ever misunderstand the true meaning of kanaph. For nearly 2,000 years, religious Jews have faced the city of Jerusalem three times daily and chanted the following prayer:


Sound the great trumpet for our freedom,
Raise the banner for gathering our exiles,
And gather us together from THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH
into our own land.

The Book of Isaiah describes how the Messiah, the Root of Jesse, shall regather his people from the four corners of the earth. They shall come from every extremity to be gathered into Israel.

"And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,
Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
For the Gentiles shall seek Him,
And His resting place shall be glorious."
It shall come to pass in that day
That the LORD shall set His hand again the second time
To recover the remnant of His people who are left,
From Assyria and Egypt,
From Pathros and Cush,
From Elam and Shinar,
From Hamath and the islands of the sea.
He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together the dispersed of Judah
From THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
(Isaiah 11:10-12, N. King James Version)
