In each of the following cases, the Bible writer has an opportunity to either state the widely held erroneous belief of his day or state a factually true description. In each case what was stated was true, demonstrating knowledge beyond the writer’s ability and thus necessarily from God.

How did Bible writers, who lived and wrote in an age of ignorance and superstition consistently and accurately record information that men of science have been able to discover only with advanced scientific instruments in just that last few hundred years?
These men could not have been writing from their own knowledge and wisdom. They must have received their information from a source far greater than their ability. The Bible (properly used) and real science (not just theories) will always agree because their ultimate source is God!
