when only a few thousand stars were visible in the night sky &#8212; the Bible compared the stars to grains of sand, Jeremiah 33:22. \u00a0The Bible claimed each star was unique, Corinthians 15:41. \u00a0Today that seemingly ridiculous claim is a \u00a0scientific fact. \u00a0Without divine inspiration, Paul could not have known what today\u2019s starlight spectra confirms. Extra reference: \u00a0Scientific Facts in the Bible by Ray Comfort.<\/li>\n<li>One after another, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reasons.org\/articles\/articles\/fulfilled-prophecy-evidence-for-the-reliability-of-the-bible\">biblical prophecies have been or are being fulfilled<\/a>. \u00a0The Old Testament predicted many events in history that were fulfilled in the New Testament.<\/li>\n<li>The book of Genesis explains how our earth, universe, and life came into existence. \u00a0The Bible reveals: a) God exists, \u00a0b) What He is like, and c) What His will is for our lives.<\/li>\n<li>Observable science is not in conflict with the Bible. \u00a0The fathers of scientific discovery agree: \u00a0Newton, Pascal, Lister, Herschel, Simpson, Bacon, Morse, Compton, Da Vinci, Durham and others. \u00a0Further, contrary to popular belief, many <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discovery.org\/scripts\/viewDB\/filesDB-download.php?id=660\" class=\"broken_link\">renowned scientists<\/a> living today agree as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221;
