The Scientific Accuracy of the Bible

As humanity's knowledge of matter and earth and space grows, so does the tendency to discount the Bible as true, particularly among the scientific community. But the Bible is perfectly accurate about, and a primary reference for, many scientific phenomena. Here are a few notable examples.
The Old Testament prophet wrote this. Jeremiah 33:22, “As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me." The host of heaven means stars. We only see about 3000 stars with the naked eye. Estimates about the total number of stars run around 10 to the 21st power. That is 10 with 21 zeroes after it. Grains of sand are around 10 to the 25th power. All those stars look pretty much the same to us but when viewed through a telescope their light shines different. In fact, the apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:41 that stars had their own unique glory. Astronomers now get to see that through the lens.
The old suffering saint Job said that God hangs the earth on nothing. (Job 26:7) That wasn’t even the popular belief in the middle Ages. Job knew it all along.
While we are in Job think about this. Job 28:25 explains that God has given weight to the winds and apportioned the measure of the waters. Did you know that the wind is heavy? That was discovered only 300 years ago. The Bible said it 3500 years before scientists discovered it. This detail is critical to the proper functioning of the hydrologic cycle. This is the process by which water evaporates, rises into the atmosphere, collects in the clouds, and then returns to earth as precipitation. Here is the process as described by Job in 36:27-29. "For He draws up drops of water which distill as rain from the mist which the clouds drop down and pour abundantly on man. Indeed can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunder from His canopy." So here in the Bible is the scientific explanation of evaporation, condensation, and rainfall, complete with thunder.
And for those who insist that there must have been cavemen because paintings have been found on the walls, we answer from the Bible that they are right. "They were driven out from among men, they shouted at them as at a thief. They had to live in the clefts of the valleys, in caves of the earth and the rocks." Job 30:5-6. These were not Neanderthal, some lesser form of humanity. They were men driven out of their communities and forced to live in caves.
Did you know that until now every attempt to drill through the earth’s crust to the malleable layer beneath has ended in failure? Prophet Jeremiah may state the reason in chapter 31 of his book. Verse 37 there says this. "If heaven above can be measured and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will; also cast off the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says the Lord." Could be that man cannot get through the earth's foundation simply because God is keeping a promise.
The Bible is not a science text but the truth of science is revealed there- accurately, thousands of years before scientists even had a way to discover these facts.
