SCIENTIFIC ERRORS IN THE BIBLE
If the Bible is the infallible Word of God, then it stands to reason that it would not contain factualerrors of science. By "factual errors" we mean errors that can be physically examined. We are nottalking about contradictions between scientific theories and the Bible. We are talking about hardevidence that can be checked out.But first, there is a question we must answer: "is it legitimate to judge the Bible?" ManyChristians believe in the Bible as a blind leap of faith. They really do not care if it is filled withmistakes and contradictions. As far as they are concerned, they were born Christian and they willdie Christian. The more closed minded they are, the more fanatical they become in their religion.When ignorance unites with arrogance, fanaticism is born.We pity those whose religion is only the product of an accident of birth and culture. They blindlyfollow whatever religion they were born into. How sad it is to have an unexamined faith; a faiththat cannot stand up to reason and science; a faith that merely shouts slogans, stamps its feet and beats its breast in a mindless mob. They do not believe in Christianity because it is true. To themChristianity is true because they believe it.A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; it is a taletold by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. (Macbeth Act V, Scene 5)Thankfully, there are millions of Christians today who have received a university education andunderstand that an unexamined faith is a worthless faith. They are open minded to scientific factsand evidence. They want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
The Movement of the Sun
One of the questions which puzzled the ancient Jews was, "How did the sun move through thesky?" The Bible gave them God's answer.Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of theCanaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?(Deuteronomy 11:30)Their [the heavens and the firmament] line is gone out through all the earth, and their words tothe end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroomcoming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is fromthe end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heatthereof. (Psalm 19:4-6)
