THEOLOGY and SCIENCE: THE BIBLE IS SCIENTIFIC

In the beginning of the earth, God talked to a couple who were commanded to
perform agricultural tasks, not create a computer system, nor obtain a Ph.D.
Nevertheless, God states He did create the heaven and the earth.  The history
of the Bible indicates one of agriculture and animal husbandry; to which God did
communicate, intelligently, within the framework of the skills and living
circumstances of the people involved.  Understanding the Bible, within the
context of communication, includes People, Places, Plants and Animals.

For example: Using the King James version of The Holy Bible, Genesis records that
God said: Let there be light; and there was light . . . And God called the light Day
and the darkness he called Night . . . And the evening and the morning were the first
day.  Nevertheless, in order of days, it is so stated that: Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night . . . And the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.

From modern scientific knowledge, it is apparent, that in current intelligent language
of the scientific world, what is said by God is equivalent to the process by which, on
the fourth day, the regional solar system was set in motion, to move about the Sun
in the sky, along with the other bodies in the heavens, within the backdrop
of the more distant star systems.

Going back in days (1,000 earth years), on the third day, the earth land mass was
formed, along with the seas, and plants.  It is obvious to all sober thinking individuals,
that this creation must have occurred in this sequence, to then allow the greater
manifestation of light and darkness on the fourth day.  This brings to issue the
initial formation of the earth and planetary system, within a stationary, non motion
environment.

Prior to these events, within the second day of creation, God made the firmament,
and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which
were above the firmament.  This creative act is now well defined as the gravitational
field created by the mass of the earth as an independent entity.

Prior to this series of events, the earth was without form and void; and darkness
was upon the face of the deep.  And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of
the waters.  This clearly suggests that the earth was formed out of a portion of
the Universe, of unorganized gaseous matter and fluid element, which was
permeated by light from God, condensed into a liquid gravitation field,
and further defined with more rigid land mass, which was then set
into rotational spin.

Nature has it, and astronomy shows it, that such is currently the composition
within the various star systems seen throughout the Universe.  All scientific.

The fifth day shows the waters bringing forth abundantly, as well as the fowl
that may fly above the earth.  This is most scientific and interesting, as it would
absolutely require the previously noted plant life, to sustain the subsequent
proliferation of fish in the sea, and birds in the air.  Sounds like scientific,
intelligent creation, as told by the Creator.  This is a cryptic explanation,
as it is self evident that plant life was both beneath the seas, on the ocean floors,
as well as upon the exposed earth.

There is a distinct separation in the creation of the living creature after his kind,
cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind.  There is no room
for the theory of evolution.  Reference: The Darwin Papers

There is a distinct separation in the creation of man in his own image, in the image
of God created he him; male and female created he them, with worldwide dominion
over all the other creations.  There is no room for the theory of evolution.  Significantly,
this was a Master Plan, an executive process in modern business language, since all this
was created and contemplated upon, every plant of the field before it was in the earth,
and every  herb of the field before it grew; meaning in the most simple terms, that God
prepared the earth, with all living things to event upon the earth, in time sequence,
from Adam and Eve, until the very end of this planet as a temporal sphere.

Note again, the scientific facts concerning the statement, and there was not a man to till
the ground.  But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole ground;
then, Man was created FIRST in the physical creation, placing the most intelligent creature
above all else.  Just sounds like what an intelligent scientist would do today, in assigning
the brightest and the best, to conduct a new University research project.  And the Lord God
planted a garden eastward in Eden, a "research grant", with extensive laboratory,
an experimental chamber for all the children of Man.

We now have scientific communities, with intelligent individuals, who should
review the facts, within the framework of eternal realities.  Science should be
taught in all schools, nationwide, which cannot be done, without reliance upon
Biblical narrative.  This relates to all learned knowledge.  It is clearly defined
within the Biblical Text, in order of commentary, that it was the partaking, or
touching of the fruit of the knowledge of good or evil that gave Adam, Eve
and all their posterity, the ability to evaluate opposites, by experience.
"Consciousness is a characteristic of the mind generally regarded to comprise
qualities such as subjectivity, self-awareness" (we are naked and need clothes),
"sentience, sapience, and the ability to perceive the relationship between oneself
and one's environment.   It is a subject of much research in philosophy of mind,
psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science."

Note again what is stated further in Biblical Text: they were to till the ground,
as Adam and Eve were formed from the dust of the ground.  The Bible is Scientific,
the historical basis upon which everything rests; the key foundational testimony
that God (the infinite, eternal and unchanged power) does exist.  Adam and Eve
were literally "grounded", to obtain their own foundation of knowledge, or belief
and conviction about themselves in relation to a living God.  The premise, reason,
or datum was that God exists; it was the ultimate or first principle obtained in the
Garden of Eden, the cause of their existence or occurrence, the originating force
of agency.

The Bible clearly states the beginnings of all free agency and neurological thought
processes.  Indeed, the source of all power for POSITIVE action, (the faith of the whole
world), from Adam's time down to the present age, has been dependent in some way,
on the correct idea of God, as transmitted to mankind by their common progenitor.
Their understanding and witness of innocence to consciousness, is replicated every day
upon the whole face of the earth, by the birth and gradual development of new infants;
which gives every living person an individual experience (not observed in other life forms),
a repeat of the pre mortal to mortal life events that were had by Adam and Eve.

The Bible testifies in the Creation, that God is the greatest Scientist: all knowing, all seeing,
eternal, unchanged, and everlasting.  Counsel, advice or guidance was first given by God,
similar in law when information is solicited from a knowledgeable person.  That there was
a group of individuals involved, is absolutely verified by Job, when the LORD answered Job
out of the whirlwind.  Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if
thou hast understanding.  Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath
stretched the line upon it?  [Sounds like God is a Ph.D. Engineer.]  When the morning stars
(spirit daughters of God, including Eve, the mother of all living) sang together (in heavenly
chorus), and all the sons of God (before physical birth, including Adam) shouted for joy?

Science unveils knowledge and truth.  Genuine Biblical accounts that are translated
correctly, also unveil knowledge and truth, historical perspectives of individuals using
spiritual awareness, feelings, social unity, experience, instinct and intuition.  In different
situations, over generations of time, a record was preserved, contemporaneously written
down from the time of Adam and Eve, suggesting the Eternal God and His world are knowable;
that mankind's individual biological organs of heart and mind combined together, can be
relied upon to uniquely discern them and have personal dual witness of the truth, by reasoning
with feeling.  Their posterity can continue to reproduce similar results, by following the same
instructions offered by the true and living God.  In the modern world of today, the characteristics
of intuition, or the immediate cognition that has led to great scientific discoveries, is a current
manifestation of revelation: the mind of God, as so written in ancient Inspired Scriptures.

It can be further noted that the Biblical text follows similar patterns found in handed down
chronicles in Royalty lists, in which events are directly connected to the presiding authority
in government.  For example: In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month,
the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep
broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. . . .  And it came to pass in the six
hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried
up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold,
the face of the ground was dry. 

Additionally, the Bible is scientific in modern terms, forecasting future events.  He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat
of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written,
which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.  . . . And before the throne there was a sea
of glass like unto crystal:  . . .  This is the equivalent, in modern terminology, of receiving
a Computer Lap Top, for individual intelligence retrieval, with password protection;
living within an environment of a sea of glass like unto crystal, in which the earth is sanctified
into a massive data bank depository.

The mind of Man is capable of absorbing billions of data bits, and the suggestion is given
in the Bible, of what future technology will bring to this earth in its glorified state of existence.
Confirmation of this ability is made in the Pearl of Great Price, Moses, Chapter 1, verse 8:
And it came to pass that Moses looked, and beheld the world upon which he was created;
and Moses beheld the world and the ends thereof, and all the children of men which are,
and which were created; of the same he greatly marveled and wondered.

Therefore, in conclusion, the Bible is Scientific, as science itself is but one of the many
branches of Universal Theology.
