Earth is round -

Science has verified that the Earth is round, despite certain conspiracy theories. The Bible also supports this, stating, "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22).

The planet's core is hot -

The idea of the Earth's core being hot is reinforced by Job 28:5, which states: "The earth, from which food comes, is transformed below as by fire."

Earth floats in space -

For those seeking biblical validation of the Earth being suspended in space, refer to Job 26:7, where it states: "He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing."

Water alters form -

The hydrologic cycle, also called the water cycle, is a widely recognized process. Interestingly, this concept is mentioned in the Bible multiple times. Ecclesiastes 1:7 states: "All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again."

Water changes form -

Amos 9:6 also references it here: "He calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land.". Similarly, Job 36:27-28 states: "He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind."

Psalm 135:7 presents another illustration: "He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses."

The massive flood probably occurred -

The story of The Great Flood and Noah's Ark is well-known in the Bible. Geological evidence suggests that the flood described in the story could be based on real events.

The ark could have succeeded -

In Genesis 6:13-22, Noah was given instructions from God: "The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high."

The ark would still have functioned -

According to calculations made by physics students at the University of Leicester in 2014, it has been discovered that the math behind the ark is accurate. This means that the ark would have floated and successfully transported pairs of each animal species during the flood.

The sky is filled with endless stars -

It is widely known that the universe contains an immense number of stars. To be precise, each galaxy can accommodate up to a trillion stars, with approximately 100 billion galaxies existing in the universe.

The sky is filled with countless stars -

The Bible even has a mention of this in Jeremiah 33:22: "I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore."

Not all stars are made equal -

The Bible acknowledges that the brightness or magnitude of stars differs. "The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor." (Corinthians 15:41).

Celestial objects have a limited lifetime -

It is now understood that stars and other celestial bodies experience death, a fact validated by science and also mentioned in the Bible.

Invisible particles make up the universe -

According to Hebrews 11:3, "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."

Invisible particles make up the universe -

The similarity between the Bible and atoms is striking. Individually, protons, neutrons, and electrons are imperceptible to our sight. Remarkably, atoms compose the vast majority of substances, including our very existence.

David really could have taken down Goliath -

The tale of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17 proves that even a small boy can defeat a giant.

David really could have taken down Goliath -

Although not the mightiest weapon, the stones from Elah Valley, composed of dense barium sulphate, would certainly have been capable of inflicting harm on Goliath.

David really could have taken down Goliath -

Additionally, it is believed that Goliath, being a giant, may have experienced acromegaly, an excess production of growth hormone. As a result, he may have encountered visual issues, including limited peripheral vision, which could have been advantageous for David.

The sun actually stopped to move -

It is probable that this event was an eclipse that researchers have traced to October 30, 1207 BCE.

Creatures require blood to survive -

"For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life" (Leviticus 17:11).
