SCIENTIFIC ALLUSIONS IN
SCRIPTURE... |
Dr. Henry Morris of the Institute for Creation
Research has compiled an impressive list of
allusions to scientific principles in Scripture.
This list actually demonstrates that a matrix of
scientific principles underlies the body of
Scripture. These principles were not known to the
leading minds of the day in which they were written;
in fact, many of them contradicted what was being
taught at the time. Such a list confirms that the
Scriptures are scientifically credible. It further
confirms that the Scriptures were supernaturally
inspired.

M. Morris, Defender's Bible)
