Surprise scientific facts in the Holy Bible for Christians and Atheists. Why Atheists also? Because, I have been reading Atheist group posts on Facebook, and at times have responded with simple non-preaching answers and questions. I have been blocked a few times and my question usually go unanswered, and that is OK. I was hoping for a response, and not being called names, but that is how people who are angry or hateful because of religion questions respond.
Also, keep in mind a lot of Atheists were religious or Christians at one time. Remember, the Lord asks us to serve everyone and anyone. That includes Atheists, non-believers, skeptics and Agnostics.
So, I decided to post the question of Bible passages that connect to science because Atheists always want “Scientific proof of God,” An FYI: You can’t just say in a response; the sun, moon, stars or humans because to them it is not science facts. No matter what you write or say, they will find a way to respond with “It doesn’t work or is not right or you made it up to fit,”
They will never admit it is correct because it would defeat their own belief and agenda. Also, they like to say “All this science/bible verses proof was known in the far past,” but they have no validation or “Proof” to back up their claims.
However, even with scientific proof it still will not work for them because they are angry at God and/or Christians, and do not want to find a way back. Anger can be short lived or life long depending on the person holding the anger. Keep in mind that some might be looking for a way back so don’t give up.
Now a change of direction. A question for you to ponder about the science: Who do you think came up with the idea for these scientific experiments? The scientists? Did someone put the idea into their heads? If so, who? God?
We like to think we just “come up with ideas,” and then we are proud of ourselves for doing it, unless it goes wrong, Then we blame others or even God. Here’s the point. God put the ideas in our heads to help us move forward. so, why would people blame God automatically, especially if you never believed in God in the first place.
OK. Now the good stuff: Here’s a list of scientific facts written in the Holy Bible that have been supported or validated by scientific research. These examples reflect the intersection of “faith and science” that is the cornerstone of Christians:
The Universe Had a Beginning
Biblical Reference: Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
Scientific Validation: The Big Bang theory, which suggests the universe had a beginning, gained prominence in the 20th century, particularly through the work of Albert Einstein and Georges Lemaître.
The Earth is Round

Scientific Validation: Modern astronomy estimates that there are **over 100 billion stars** in our galaxy alone, with many more galaxies beyond.
The Concept of Quarantine
Biblical Reference: Leviticus 13 outlines laws regarding leprosy and the isolation of individuals who are unclean.

Now what you decide to think or understand about these science and Bible references would depend on your faith and belief. Of course, you have free-will to accept or reject a few, some or all of them. That almost read like a game show host lines. Not sure which game show?
These are proven science facts that have to make you wonder why they were discovered in the first place. True Christians understand that the Holy Spirit in us gives us thought and ideas every day if we want them, or if we are paying attention to the words. In the past I wasn’t paying close attention, but quickly learned to listen closely.
Believe it or not, it is not hallucinations (as Atheists or non-believers would make you think), but coming from the Lord. I know. This is one of my testimonials, and you can find my other ones on our Ministry website (https://ourividedworld.com).
Every night while getting ready for bed, I get these ideas I wasn’t even thinking about. I have to write them down or by the morning I will have forgotten them. There are not a lot, maybe one or two, but once I fall asleep they are gone from my thoughts. And at my age you have to write down everything.
In the morning I check my notes, and start writing a new post or answer some questions in social media.
I have come to realize that some Christians and Atheists feel the same way about many things in the Holy Bible. My comment is very simple. It all comes down to faith and belief. If your faith is weak you will fall away from Christianity with a very light, and simple childlike nudge.
If another Christian says something you don’t like you will walk away from your faith, indicating there was no faith anyway. However, if you faith is strong, nothing can move you, not even name calling or trying to make you feel less or stupid. Satan has his plan, and it is to get non-believers to move you clear of Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible.
So, I ask you – “How strong is your faith and belief in Jesus Christ… really?” If you have any doubt or are unsure of what you have heard or know, please contact us at john@ourdividedworld.com or jean@ourdividedworld.com at our Private Emails.
