Scientific errors in Bible
1. Astronomy: The Bible speaks
about the creation of the universe. In the beginning, 1st
Book, Book of Genesis, 1st Ch., it is mentioned - It says… ‘Almighty God
created the Heavens and the Earth, in six days and talks about a evening and a
morning, referring to a 24 - hour day. Today scientists tell us, that the universe cannot
be created in a 24 hour period of six days.
2. The Bible says in Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses No.
3 and 5,…‘Light was created onthe first day.’ Genesis, Ch., 1 Verses, 14 to 19… ‘The cause of light
- stars and the sun, etc. was created on the fourth day’. How can the cause of
light be created on the 4th day - later than the light which came into
existence on the first day? - It is unscientific.
3. Further, the, Bible says Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses
9 to 13… ‘Earth was created on the 3rd day. How can you have a night and day without
the earth ? The day depends upon the rotation of the Earth Without the earth
created, how can you have a night and day?
4. Genesis, Ch. No. 1 Verses 9 to 13 says… ‘Earth
was created on the third day.’ Genesis
Ch. No. 1 Verses 14 to 19 says…‘The Sun and the
Moon were created on the fourth day.’ Today science tells us…
‘Earth is part of the parent body… the sun.’ It cannot come into existence
before the sun – It is unscientific.
5. The Bible says in Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No.
11 to 13…‘The vegetation, the herbs the shrubs, the trees - they were created
on the 3rd day And the Sun, Genesis, Ch. No. 1, Verses. 14 to 19, was created
on the 4th day.How can the vegetation come into existence without sunlight, and
how can they survive without sunlight ?
6. The Bible says in Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses No.16,
that…‘God created two lights the greater light, the Sun to rule the day, and the
lesser light the Moon, to rule the night. The actual translation, if you go to
the Hebrew text, it is ‘lamps’…‘Lamps having lights of its own.’ And that you
will come to know better, if you read both the Verses – Genesis, Ch. No.1,
Verse. 16, as well as 17. Verse No.17 says…‘And Almighty God placed them in the
firmament, to give light to the earth… To give
light to the earth.’ Indicating, that Sun and the Moon has its own light -
which is in contradiction with established scientific knowledge that we have.
7.It is mentioned in the Bible, in the book of Hebrews, Ch. No.1 Verses No.10 and 11, and the book of Psalms,
Ch. No.102, Verse No.25 and 26, that…‘Almighty God created the Heavens and the
Earth, and they will perish.’ Exactly opposite is mentioned in the book of
Ecclesiastics, Ch. No.1, Verse No.4, and the book of Psalms, Ch. No.78, Verse
No.69, that… ‘The earth will abide forever.’ Which will take place? The Earth
will perish or abide forever? The both can't take place. It's unscientific!
8. The Bible says in the book of Genesis, Ch.
No.1, Verse No.29, that… ‘God has given you all the herbs bearing seeds, the
trees bearing fruits - those that bear seed, as meat for you.’New International Version says…
‘The seed bearing plants, and the trees bearing fruits bearing seeds are food
for you, all of them.’ Today, even a layman knows that there are several poisonous
plants like wild berries, stritchi, datura, plants containing
alkaloid, polyander, bacaipoid - that which if you ingest, if you eat there are
high possibilities you may die. How come the Creator of the universe and the
human beings, does not know, that if you have these plants, you will die.
9. The Bible has a scientific test how to identify
a true
believer. It is mentioned in the Gospel of
Mark, Ch. No.16, Verse No.17 and 18 - It
says that… ‘There will be signs for true believers and among the signs - In my
name they shall cast out devils, they shall speak foreign tongues, new tongues,
they shall take up serpents - And if they drink deadly poison, they shall not
be harmed - And when they place their hand over the sick, they shall be cured.’
This is a scientific test - In scientific terminology, it is known as the
‘confirmatory test’ for a true Christian believer. There has not been a single
true believing Christian that has ever passed this test, because no one's
willing to even try.
10. What does the Bible say regarding ‘Hydrology’?
Bible says in Genesis, Ch. No.9, Verse No.13 to 17, that… ‘After God, at the
time of Noah submerged the world by flood, and after the flood’ subsided, He
said… ‘I put up a rainbow in the sky as a promise to the humankind never to
submerge the world again, by water. To the unscientific person it may be quite
good… ‘Oh rainbow is a sign of Almighty God, never to
submerge the world by flood again.’ But today we know very well, that rainbow
is due to the refraction of sunlight, with rain or mist. Surely there must have
been thousands of rainbows before the time of Noah, peace be upon
him. To say it was not there before Noah’s
time you have to assume that the law of refraction did not exist - which is
unscientific.
11. In the field of medicine, the Bible says in
the book of Leviticus, Ch. No.14, Verse No.49 to 53 - it gives a novel way for
disinfecting a house from plague of leprosy… disinfecting a
house from plague of leprosy. It says that… ‘Take two birds, kill one bird,
take wood, scale it - and the other living bird, dip it in water… and under
running water - later on sprinkle the house 7 times with it. Sprinkle the house
with blood to disinfect against plague of leprosy? You know blood is a good
media of germs, bacteria, as well as toxins! Unscientific!
12. It is mentioned in the book of Leviticus, Ch.
No.12, Verse No.1 to 5, and we know medically, that after a mother gives birth
to a child, the post-partal period, it is unhygienic. To say it is ‘unclean’,
Religiously - I have got no objection. But Leviticus, Ch. No.12 Verse No.1 to
5, says that… ‘After a woman gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean
for 7 days, and the period of uncleanliness will continue for 33 days more. It
she give birth to a female child, she will be unclean for two weeks, and the
period of uncleanliness will continue for 66 days. In short, if a woman gives
birth to a male child… ‘a son’, she is unclean for 40 days. If she gives birth
to a female child… ‘a daughter’, she is unclean for 80 days. I would like any
Christian to explain to me scientifically, how come a woman remains unclean for
double the period, if she gives birth to a female child, as compared to a male
child.
13. The Bible also has a very good test for adultery - How to come to
know a woman has committed adultery, in the book of Numbers, Ch. no.5 Verse No..11 to 31. I’ll just say in brief.
It says that… ‘The priest should
take holy water in a vessel, take dust from the floor, and put it into
the vessel - And that is the bitter water ‘And after cursing it, give it to the
woman And if the woman has committed adultery, after she drinks it, the curse
will enter her body, the stomach will swell, the thigh will rot, and she shall
be cursed by the people. If the woman has not committed adultery, she will
remain clean and she will bear the seed. A novel method of identifying whether
a woman has committed adultery or not. How unscientific!
