What do you Know and Believe about the Bible and how do you know it is True?
What do you really know about the Bible? You know the one—the bestselling book of all time; the one that history demonstrates has been preserved and accurately transmitted for thousands of years in spite of the many efforts to suppress, corrupt, burn and destroy it; the one that is unlike any other religious book in the world having the distinctive feature of prophesy both for nations and individuals; the one that affords the Christian religion to be the only religion that can prove itself (through the scriptures); the only one that presents itself as the written revelation of the one true God; the one that is the most influential book ever written; the one that has been translated into more languages than any other piece of literature in the world; the one whose teachings are embraced by a majority of the world’s population.
Yes, that is the one!
But what we are going to discuss in this book goes well beyond these distinctive features —impressive as they are; it goes beyond the offered proofs of prophesy and archeological findings, and beyond any alleged hidden codes found in the Bible. It goes to the heart of any proof—scientific proof.
You may or may not know much about the Bible or you may or may not believe in it as true scripture from the one true God. But I will tell you, unashamedly, it is a life-changing event, a mind expanding revelation when you do discover that the Bible, the Christian Bible of the Old and New Testaments, is in fact the authentic Word of God.
A person does not have to believe in the Bible just because someone of authority—a preacher, priest, or minister—says you are supposed to; or because of peer pressure from family or friends. That is merely ‘blind faith’, which, strikingly, is something you do not need with Christianity because the Bible and Christianity are based on realistic faith born of proof. Remarkably, there is no other religion or holy scripture that can make that claim.
But as a rational being, you are more likely to consider a form of proof, preferably scientific proof, over any type of blind faith or third party recommendation when deciding to believe whether something is true or not. Therefore, in presenting our “proof” of the Bible, we will show a direct relationship and connection between true natural science (a natural law of science) and the Holy Scripture, which is the Holy Bible. This proof will go a long way in bridging the perceived chasm between religion and science, at least as far as Christianity and the Bible are concerned. This will show that the truth of the Holy Scripture can be proved outside of the Holy Scripture itself. This type of proof is unique in its approach as all other proofs are basis on either fulfilled prophesies or confirmation of scientific statements made concerning archeology, geology, paleontology or other forensic evidence in the Bible. To demonstrate this proof, we will use a relatively new scientific law of nature, a law that is outside of the Bible; a law that is as valid and true as any of the well-known fundamental physical constants (laws) of the universe, such as the law of gravity or the speed of light. Therein lays the uniqueness of our proof that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
