Scientific Proof of the

Bible
The Bible is estimated to have been written between 1450 B.C. and 95
A.D. This chart shows scientific facts and principles referred to in this
ancient Bible, but not actually discovered by humankind until later
centuries. Dead sea scrolls, historical documentation, and other sources
all confirm the authenticity of the Bible. Since people had no official
knowledge of these scientific facts until more than a thousand years after
the Bible was written, is this scientific proof that the Bible was inspired by
God?
