"How you answer the question of origins, whether you are an accident or a unique creation of God, will ultimately determine everything else in your life. It will determine your value for human individuals, your basis of morality, your meaning and purpose in life, and your ultimate destiny. It is one of the most fundamental questions you can ask!" (Fast Facts on False Teachings Ron Carlson and Ed Decker)

If we are a Bible believing, Christ teaching, standing on the Authority of God's word followers of Christ, then we have to define the terms by what God's word says about who He is and what He said He did. If we don’t take God’s word literally from the first verse of Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, then it makes it very difficult to believe Jesus as God manifest in the flesh, a bodily resurrection and all future end times prophetic events. Revelation 22:18-19 gives this warning, “And I Solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.” If we truly proclaim that we are born again in Christ then we must listen to this warning from John!

Here are a number of Bible verses that reveal who God is and what God said He did. Let’s start with the book of Hebrews to lay the foundation upon where we will be heading.

Scripture verses stating that Science confirms the Bible (NLT). 

1. Hebrews 11:1-3 - "Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in the days of old earned a good reputation.

2. Isaiah 45:11-12 - "This is what the Lord says - the Holy One of Israel and your Creator:" "Do you question what I do for my children? Do you give me orders about the work of my hands?

It appeared at his command."

You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority - the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents. O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"

7. Isaiah 40:21-22 - “Haven’t you heard? Don’t you understand? Are you deaf to the words of God - the words he gave before the world began? Are you so ignorant?

You will open the eyes of the blind. You will free the captives from prison, releasing those who sit in dark dungeons. I am the Lord; that is my name!

Nothing can hide from its heat.”

16. Jeremiah 51:15-19 - “The Lord made the earth by his power, and he preserves it by his wisdom. With his own understanding he stretched out the heavens. When he speaks in the thunder, the heavens roar with rain. He causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends the lightning with rain and releases the wind from his storehouses. The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge! The craftsman are disgraced by the idols they make, for their carefully shaped works are a fraud. These idols have no breath or power. Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies! On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed. But the God of Israel is no idol! He is the Creator of everything that exists, including his people, his own special possession. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!”

Then the  water returns again to the rivers and flows out again to the sea."

33. Isaiah 55:10-11 - "The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.

34. Psalm 104:5-9 & 19, 24, & 30-31 - "You placed the world on it's foundation so it would never be moved. You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains. At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away. Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed. Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth. You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set. O Lord, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures. When you give them your breathe, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord continue forever! The Lord takes pleasure  in all he has made!"

35. Psalm 102:25 - "Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands. They will perish, but you remain forever; they will wear out like old clothing. You will change them like a garment and discard them. But you are always the same; you will live forever.

37. Job 37:22-33 - "Look, God is all-powerful. Who is a teacher like him? No one can tell him what to do, or say to him, "You have done wrong." Instead, glorify his mighty works, singing songs of praise. Everyone has seen these things, though only from a distance. Look, God is greater than we can understand. His years cannot be counted. He draws up the water vapor and then distills it into rain. The rain pours down from the clouds, and everyone benefits. Who can understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunder that rolls from heaven? See how he spreads the lightning around him and how it lights up the depths of the sea. By these mighty acts he nourishes the people, giving them food in abundance. He fills his hands with lightning bolts and hurls each at its target. The thunder announces his presence; the storm announces his indignant anger. 

38. Acts 17:24-34 - "He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn't live in man-made temples, and human hands can't serve his needs - for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries. "His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him - though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' And since this is true, we shouldn't think of God as an idol designed by craftsman from Gold or silver or stone. "God overlooked people's ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone to repent of their sins and turn to him. For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him for the dead." When they heard Paul speak about the resurrection of the dead, some laughed in contempt, but others said, "We want to hear more about this later." That ended Paul's discussion with them, but some joined him and became believers. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the council, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
