Humanity was literally in danger of self-extermination.

So God stepped in and prevented humanity from wiping itself out.

Well, what thrills me as a research scientist is that the more we learn about science, the more and more evidence we gain that the Bible is the inspired and errant Word of God.

So, for example, you have Genesis 1 describing 10 different events of creation, tells us what the chronological order is, gives us details.

The book of Job puts in more details as does Psalm 104 and Proverbs 8.

But

What I've noticed is that it tells us that on day four, you have the atmosphere going from a thick haze to being transparent.

And just back in 2018, a team of physicists did an experiment where they took a huge flask, filled it with a known constituent source atmosphere, and then began with no oxygen, then gradually increased the oxygen.

And when the oxygen hit 8%,

the atmosphere and the glass cleared, you could see through it.

And likewise, when you have the oxygen in the atmosphere going up to 8%, that's the moment we have large animals appearing on the face of the earth.

Those animals need to see the sun, moon, and stars in the sky in order to regulate their biological clocks.

So that's just one example of how a scientific experiment gave us more evidence that the Bible got everything right.

Yes.

It's not just that the descriptions are correct.

Everything is in the correct chronological sequence.

Now, I do get pushback from my atheist peers who say, wait a minute.

If you look at it from the perspective of God up in the heavens, everything is in the wrong order.

I say, yeah, but that's not the frame of reference.

Genesis 1-2 tells us that the Spirit of God is hovering over the surface of the waters of the primordial earth, below the clouds, not above the clouds.
