Top Highlights

“Ecclesiastes 11:3 states that ‘if the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth.’ Look at the Bible’s concise words in Amos 9:6: ‘He … calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth.’ The idea of a complete water cycle was not fully understood by science until the seventeenth century. However, more than two thousand years prior to the discoveries of Pierre Perrault, Edme Mariotte, Edmund Halley, and others, the Scriptures clearly spoke of a water cycle.” (Page 14)

“In Genesis 6, God gave Noah the dimensions of the 1.5 million cubic foot ark he was to build. In 1609 at Hoorn in Holland, a ship was built after that same pattern (30:5:3), revolutionizing shipbuilding. By 1900 every large ship on the high seas was inclined toward the proportions of the ark (verified by ‘Lloyd’s Register of Shipping’ in the World Almanac).” (Page 15)

“The Bible instructs that male babies are to be circumcised on the eighth day (Genesis 17:12). Medical science has now discovered that this is the day that the coagulating factor in the blood, called prothrombin, is the highest. It reaches its peak on the eighth day, then drops. Medical science has also discovered that this is when the human body’s immune system is at its peak.” (Page 22)

“When asked what his greatest discovery was, Dr. Simpson replied: ‘It was not chloroform. It was to know I am a sinner and that I could be saved by the grace of God. A man has missed the whole meaning of life if he has not entered into an active, living relationship with God through Christ.’” (Page 34)
