His word vs their word

It is interesting to know: "Elementary statistical theory shows that the probability of 200 successive mutations being successful is then (½)^200, or one chance out of 10^60. The number 10^60, if written out, would be "one" followed by sixty "zeros." In other words, the chance that a 200-component organism could be formed by mutation and natural selection is less than one chance out of a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion!  All this means that the chance that any kind of a 200-component integrated functioning organism could be developed by mutation and natural selection just once, anywhere in the world, in all the assumed expanse of geologic time, is less than one chance out of a billion trillion." In mathematics, this equation would be considered impossible and the probability would then be 0.
 Bear with me here.  I am not going to preach.  I was just given a very valuable piece of information, thanks to Mike Colaw, that I would like to share:

In Physics it is taught that a boom is an effect and that every effect must have a cause.  In evolution, the "boom" (making of things) happened over billions of years.  What is the cause of the start of this boom?  Where did all the ingredients come from?

FACT:  Earth is suspended in space.
The Egyptians believed that Earth was supported by pillars.  The Greeks believed it was carried on the back of a giant named Atlas.  The Hindus believed Earth sat on the back of elephants, which were standing on top of a humongous turtle, which stood on top of a massive snake that floated in a sea of water.
According to the science of that date, these ideas made more sense than believing that Earth was floating in mid-air.  If a person were to hold an object in their hand and let it go, it would fall.  That was their science.  How could something like Earth with such heavy objects like trees and rocks float?  So, the Bible must have been foolishness to say "He stretched out the north over the empty space.  He hangs the Earth on nothing." (Job 26:7)
The Bible was right before science could prove it, before we could even understand it.

FACT:  Earth is round.
IN 1492, Columbus was warned that he would sail off the end of the earth.  But in 750 B.C., Isaiah wrote "It is He who sits above the circle of Earth."  (In Hebrew the circle spoken about literally means "sphere")
Again, the Bible was right before science.

FACT:  There are a countless number of stars.
In 150 B.C. Hippocrates taught that there are 1022 stars.  Looking into the sky, that made sense for the science of that day.  But the Bible says "The hosts of heaven can not be numbered" (Jeremiah 33:22).

Over and over again the Bible is right before science can prove it.

Knowing that science has been proven wrong over and over again... Knowing that the Bible has been proven right over and over... Which would you trust?

  1. Awesome! I read something similar to this in my Beth Moore Believing God study a couple of weeks ago. It makes blind faith not seem blind at all.
