Astronomy – The study of objects and matter outside the earth’s atmosphere.
New Testament
Do not look at stars as bright spots only. Try to take in the vastness of the universe. (Maria Mitchell)
As I began the process of researching, writing and putting together SURTSAstronomy, I realized that there were quite a few bible verses that someway…somehow…mentions directly or indirectly, items that qualify under the scientific study of astronomy.
SURTSAstronomy will be divided up into 5 sections:
Old Testament Astronomy Part 1
Old Testament Astronomy Part 2
New Testament Astronomy and
For this section of SURTSAstronomy…New Testament, I would ask that you consider the following…
For a book that is not intended to be a book on science, let alone astronomy, it is quite amazing, not only on the amount of science that is in there, but the validity of the references regarding astronomy, that are in there.
Based on the evidence presented, I would submit to you there is absolutely nowhere in the Bible where the astronomy topics are unfounded. I would also submit to you that there is nowhere in the Bible where any scientific discovery since the Bible was put together, has yet to be proven false, regarding astronomy.
What is truly amazing is the fact that many of the facts above were already in the Bible before man and his science…and astronomy, ‘discovered’ them. In multiple cases, by hundreds or thousands of years.
What other religious book has this record?
The point is this:
While the Holy Bible is of course a religious book first and foremost, clearly, it is much more than that.
