You might have heard at some point that Christians are closed minded and behind the times when it comes to advances in science and knowledge. The truth is, the Bible has always known how the universe works. It is science that is catching up to the knowledge of the Bible, not the other way around. The next time the secular scientific community comes out with some new “theory” about how something works and it contradicts the Bible, don’t worry. A newer theory will replace it soon enough, and eventually they will come to agree with what the Bible has already been saying for thousands of years. There’s a pattern to how this works…

| When dealing with disease, hands should be washed under running water (Lev. 15:13) | Hands washed in still water | Hands should be washed under running water |
| There are innumerable stars (Jer. 33:22) | There are only 1,100 stars | There are innumerable stars |
| Air has weight (Job 28:25) | Air is weightless | Air has weight |
