***This was my speech in college, for my subject Speech and Play Production. My professor said i was monotonous. Didn't matter. Anyway the message was more important than the delivery.

In various passages throughout the Bible, God reveals many answers to the riddles of science. Each verse is yet another piece of the enigmatic Bible-science puzzle. Together they support each other, strengthen our argument for the existence of a divine Creator, and reveal that the holy Bible can withstand the scrutiny of today's scientific challenges.

In biology, we studied early life on earth, and we learned that plants preceded animals, animal life began in the sea, and finally, human beings came to existence. The chapter one in Genesis supports this, stating that the creation of plants was in the Third Day, before the creation of animals which was in the Fifth Day.

Furthermore, science has learned that the first animal life appeared in the oceans. This correlates nicely with the Biblical record where the first mention of animals in the Bible places them in the Earth's waters. And finally, the Bible claims that humans were God's final creation, which was on the Sixth Day. Science agrees, maintaining that millions of years, and millions of creature of the air, land and sea would come, before human beings finally arrived.

Genesis 1:11 (plants preceded animals)

Genesis 1:20 (animal life began in the sea)

Genesis 1:26 (creation of man)

Some passages in the Bible not only support the beginning of life, but they present the Bible as being scientifically accurate at a time when its authors were not scientifically expert or had no knowledge of the scientific facts that we understand today. For instance, when at times that the earth was believed to be flat, prophet Isaiah already wrote that the earth is round. The existence of space was mentioned by Job in the Old Testament. The basic stages of the water cycle are described in the book of Job and Ecclesiastes.

Isaiah 40:22 (spherical earth)


Job 26:7 (existence of space)


hydrologic cycle:

Job 36:27-28

Job 26:8

Ecclesiastes 1:6-7

Why then, do most people think that science and Bible are not related? It's because they only rely on scientific facts and disregard the Biblical truths. They believe so much in unproven theories, when the proof is written in the Bible, if they will only seek it.

Isaiah 34:16

Both the natural world, which we study through science, and the Bible were created by God, so both must be mutually consistent. Wherever a discrepancy seems to exists, either a scientist of a theologian -- maybe both -- hasn't been doing his job. Basic logic tells us that every house declares a builder. As a Christian and a scientist, I believe that the Bible is concrete evidence on how the world works -- from a single cell organism to the vast galaxies in the universe. For once again, the science and Holy Bible is in perfect harmony.

Maybe you did monotonously delivered this. Maybe. But if they just listen beyond that monotony, they could have been introduced to a wisdom that cannot be measured.
