The Bible said that the earth is suspended in space 3,600 years before man discovered it. “He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing” (Job 26:7). It also told of the universe winding down, unable to continue forever, in Psalms 102:25-26, “Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You will endure; yes, they will all grow old like a garment; like a cloak You will change them, and they will be changed.”

Many facts about certain animal and plant species, the human body, and astronomy have all been proven true. How did these men know these things even before they had been discovered if it were not for divine inspiration?

 

It is Correct in Its Statement About History.

Many times scientists and historians have tried to dismiss the validity of the Bible, saying it was inaccurate about certain historical facts. For example, for many years historians scoffed at the Bible because of its reference to a Hittite civilization. According to archeologists and teachers of ancient history, there never was a Hittite people or culture.

However, toward the end of the 19th century, Hittite monuments were uncovered at Carchemish on the Euphrates River in Syria, just as the Bible had said. In 1906, excavations in Turkey uncovered thousands of Hittite documents, proving the existence of the Hittite culture. The documents, as well as ruins, revealed the power and glory of the Hittite people. Their empire reached far south from Turkey to modern day Israel.
