You've heard it before... scientists and atheists alike saying that the Bible is made up, and written by men. Yes, science is the only truth we can trust in because it has been proven. I've heard this over and over not only from non-believers, but in school from grade school all the way through college. This a problem with the assumptions people are making though because the Bible has been scientifically accurate time and again, even before man had certain scientific things right. For instance, back when men were saying that the earth was the center of the universe, the Bible said it was the other way around. So if the Bible was really written only by men, wouldn't they have the same thoughts as the popular teachings of the time? Most of these men were after all only peasants, not scholars. There is a great site called Evidence For God found HERE that has a list of science in the Bible that wasn't proven as true until the last 100 years or so. Below is a list taken from that site with scriptures you can click on next to the scientific principal. This is one great proof that the Bible was inspired by God, who knows all things, rather than simply written by men, who couldn't have possibly known all of this science.
