Scientific Proofs God Exists Scientific reasoning on every level is more and more pointing to God. Proper science is proving to argue more against evolution, and for the Biblical account of creation.

Scientists call it the first law of thermodynamics. Isaac Asimov [professor of Smithsonian Institute] says that “this law is considered the most powerful and most fundamental generalization about the universe that scientists have ever been able to make.” What is this law that lies at the base of all modern science? |

It is the fact that while you can convert matter to energy (like heat that results from a burning log), you cannot create energy or matter out of nothing. So, since we know that our universe is made up of matter and energy, we have to face the reality that it had to come from somewhere. Despite the incredible advances of modern science, the fact remains that not one of our scientific theories can even begin to explain where the energy and matter came from in the first place. Creation is the only plausible theory that anyone has been able to offer.
Day 2
have a beginning.
Scientists know this principle as the
second law of thermodynamics. The law states that everything in
the universe is running down and wearing out.
Amazingly the Bible stated that the earth is wearing out thousands of years before science discovered this truth!
"Of old the Lord has laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of His hands. They shall perish, but thou Lord shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment..." Psalm 102:25-26, see also Isaiah 51:6.
It is fascinating to know that
science’s two most foundational discoveries,
the first and second laws of thermodynamics,
argue for creation, not against it!

else, thus suggesting that someone or something must have set it in motion in the first place. Twelve years after his theory was published [1929], astronomer Edwin Hubble (after whom today’s Hubble Telescope is named) was able to prove that Einstein's theory was correct. What the telescope showed was that all the other galaxies were indeed moving away from us, and from each other. It was from these observations that the Big Bang theory was
eventually born. Scientist’s knew that according to the law of inertia, these galaxies had to have been set in motion by some external force. All the galaxies are moving away from each other in a manner similar to that of a bomb explosion…. Thus the theory of a Big Bang. One thing was for sure, the universe had a beginning. Although many atheist scientists did not like their own discoveries [they still don’t], these discoveries forced them to admit that the universe had a beginning. And, if there is a beginning, must there not be a beginner?
DAY 4
compacted that it did not take up any
space whatsoever! While this may be difficult to even begin to
imagine, the theory suggests that it eventually exploded, shooting
the universe out just as a bomb would. According to this widely
accepted theory, the expansion of the universe that we are
witnessing today is simply the result of an explosion.

DAY 6
Latest Scientific Discoveries are Converting Atheist Scientists into Believers in God
A half-century ago, in 1955, Professor Antony Flew set the agenda for modern atheism with his “Theology and Falsification”, a paper presented in a debate with C.S. Lewis. This work became the most widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last 50 years. Over the decades, he published more than 30 books attacking belief in God and debated a wide range of religious believers. Then, in a 2004 Summit at New York University, Professor Flew announced that the discoveries of modern science have led him to the conclusion that the universe is indeed the
creation of infinite Intelligence. The Associated Press reported: "NEW YORK Dec 9, 2004 — A British philosophy professor who has been a leading champion of atheism for more than a half-century has changed his mind. He now believes in God more or less based on scientific evidence, and says so on a video released Thursday. At age 81, after decades of insisting belief is a mistake, Antony Flew has concluded that some sort of intelligence or first cause must have created the universe. A super-intelligence is the only good explanation for the origin of life and the complexity of nature, Flew said in a telephone interview from England."
DAY 7
The same can be said about Mount Rushmore. No true science evaluation would claim that Mount Rushmore could form over millions of years through rain and erosion by accident. The best evidence of design is the detail of design itself.
DAY 8
DAY 9
The Bible and the Science of Oceanography
There are many passages in the Bible that prove the Bible was years ahead of modern science. The father of oceanography, Matthew Maury (1806-1873), noticed the expression "paths of the sea" in Psalm 8:8 (written 2,800 years ago) and said, "If God said there are paths in the
sea, I am going to find them." Maury then took God at His word and went looking for these paths. The result was the discovery of the warm and cold continental currents. His book on oceanography remains a basic text on the subject and is still used in universities.
DAY 10
The Bible says, "the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were made of things which do not appear.” (Hebrews 11:3)
Not until the 19th century was it discovered that all visible matter consists of invisible elements, yet the Bible states it clearly; "things which are seen are made of things which do not appear."
DAY 11
DAY 12
The Circuit of the Sun
The sun goes in a circuit (Psalm 19:6). Some scientists scoffed at this verse in the Bible thinking that it taught geocentricity – the theory that the sun revolves around the earth. They insisted the sun was stationary. However, we now know from the use of the Hubble space telescope that the sun is traveling through space at approximately 600,000 miles per hour around the Milkyway galaxy. It is literally moving through space in a huge circuit – just as the Bible stated 3,000 years ago!
Also interesting to note is that the only other book claiming to to be divinely inspired that mentions the movement of the sun is the Muslim Quran. It claims that the sun when it goes down, sets in a muddy spring.
DAY 13
The Suspension of Earth
The earth free-floats in space (Job 26:7), affected only by gravity. The Bible was written during a time when many religious myths were suggesting explanations which we know now to be complete nonsense in
the light of modern scientific discovery. One of the topics was how the earth is suspended in space. Before Isaac Newton discovered gravity
there were many idea's taught as fact. Hindus believed that the Earth rested on the back of an elephant who stood on the back of a turtle that was swimming in the great endless sea. The Greeks at the time believed that the mythical god Atlas carried the Earth on his shoulders. Obviously these could not square up to science as we know it. However the Bible makes many references to the workings of the natural world.
DAY 14
Description of Evaporation and the Hydrologic Cycle
Psalm 135:7
Job 36:27-29
For He draws up drops of water,
Which
distill as rain from the mist, Indeed, can anyone understand
the
spreading of clouds,
This is amazing. These simple verses have remarkable scientific insight; written in a time when the ancients observed mighty rivers flowing into the ocean, but they could not conceive why the sea level never rose. Though they observed rainfall, they had only quaint theories as to its origin. Meteorologists now understand that the hydrological cycle consists of evaporation, atmospheric transportation, distillation, and precipitation. We can see these phases of the hydrologic cycle in these old scriptures. The worldwide processes of evaporation.
DAY 15
The Universe is Expanding
(Job 9:8; Isaiah 42:5; Jeremiah 51:15; Zechariah 12:1). Repeatedly God declares that He stretches out the heavens. During the early 20th
century, most scientists (including Einstein) believed the universe was static. Others believed it should have collapsed due to gravity. Then in 1929, astronomer Edwin Hubble showed that distant galaxies were receding from the earth, and the further away they were, the faster they were moving. This discovery revolutionized the field of astronomy. Einstein admitted his mistake, and today most astronomers agree with what the Creator told us millennia ago – the universe is expanding! Over and over, the Bible is years ahead of modern science.
DAY 16
The Moon Genesis 1:17 says "God set them [the moon and the sun] in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth".
What is interesting is the size of the moon in relationship to the earth. It is much larger in comparison to the earth than any other moon is compared to the planet it circles. Due to its size and composition, the Moon is sometimes classified as a terrestrial "planet" along with Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Scientists still have not decided exactly how the moon came to be in orbit around the earth or even how it was formed. What is interesting to us, is that the moon is so large that it could easily destroy the earth. A shorter distance away and the moon would not circle the earth. If it were any closer, it would impact the earth creating massive destruction. Our moon is unique in the universe and is precisely placed to accomplish it's purposes.
DAY 17
The Bottom of the Sea's
Only until recently, it was thought that oceans were fed merely by rivers and rain. Yet in the 1970s, with the help of deep diving research submarines that were constructed to withstand 6,000 pounds-per-square-inch pressure, oceanographers discovered springs on the ocean floors! Over and over again we see the proof that God authored the Bible.
The Bible says that the oceans contain springs (Job 38:16). The ocean is very deep. Almost all the ocean floor is in total darkness and the pressure is enormous. It is impossible for Job or any human to have explored the "springs of the sea" mentioned in the Bible. There are also mountains on the bottom of the ocean floor (Jonah 2:5-6), and the Bible mentions these mountains! Only in the last century have we discovered that there are towering mountains, deep trenches and springs in the depths of the sea.
DAY 18
Light can be divided
In the year 1701, Sir Isaac Newton studied light and discovered that white light is made of seven colors, which can be “parted” and then recombined.
The theory of color based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into a visible spectrum. Science only confirmed this four centuries ago – God declared this four millenniums ago! "By which way is the light parted."(Job 38:24)
DAY 19
Electromagnetic Radio Waves
The Bible says that light can be sent, and then manifest itself in speech. "Can you send lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, here we are?" (Job 38:35). We now know that radio waves and light waves are two forms of the same thing – electromagnetic waves. Therefore, radio waves are a form of light. Today, using radio transmitters, we can send “lightnings” which indeed speak when they arrive. The Bible speaks of these things thousands of years before they are discovered by science. No other book in the world claiming to be divinely inspired describes so many scientific topics accurately as the Holy Bible.
DAY 20 Countless Stars
Each star is unique (1 Corinthians 15:41). Centuries before the advent of the telescope, the Bible declared what only God and the angels knew – each star varies in size and intensity!
DAY 21
THE SCIENTIFIC CASE FOR INTELLIGENT DESIGN
DAY 22
Instructions for Dealing with Disease
When dealing with disease, the Bible accurately taught that clothes and
body should be
washed under running water (Leviticus 15:13). For
centuries people and doctors naively washed in standing water
spreading terrible diseases and causing thousands of deaths. Today we
recognize the need to wash away germs with fresh water. As simple as
this may seem to figure out, the entire world was unaware of the
presence of germs until
the late 1800's.
DAY 23
believed. Also predominant in that day were many myths in a number
of cultures, suggesting that evil spirits were the cause of disease.
The books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, however, written hundreds
of years before, are filled with various hygienic references on how
to keep disease at bay. If someone was sick, the Israelites were
instructed to cover any open vessels that contained food or
beverages. If someone was suffering from a plague, the Jews were
instructed to remove them outside the camp, with someone being
designated to go with them and take care of them. They were
instructed to constantly cleanse their hands and clothing while
treating patients. Some Viennese bishops who followed these rules
during a plague in the 1600s managed to stop the plague cold. So the
Bible obviously recognized that disease was caused by the spreading
of germs—thousands of years before scientific discovery could catch up!
DAY 24
Christian Doctor Applies Biblical Teaching and Saves Lives
experiments that would lead to the practice of disinfecting surgical tools. Even so, it still took a very long time for hospitals to adopt the practice of complete hygienics. In many hospitals across Europe in the early 1900s, for example, doctors would leave an autopsy room and then go and deliver a baby without washing their hands in between. Needless to say there was a great mortality rate for both birth mothers and newborns while this practice was going on. Later, one Christian doctor decided to implement some of the things he learned from the Bible and had the staff in his hospital department start washing their hands in between each medical procedure. The result: A dramatic reduction in the mortality rate within his department! Indeed, it took many years for scientists to “discover” that germs even existed and that they could be passed through the air or from unsanitary medical procedures.
DAY 25
Europe and when leprosy spread, the Jews in many instances were blamed because these plagues weren’t running in there Jewish ghettos. Why didn't they? The reason is because they didn’t have sewage running in their streets as was the case in many other cities, like Paris for example. In Paris, sewage was running into the Seine River and people were not only bathing in their own filth, but drinking from it too! We can still see this kind of thing taking place today in countries like India and Egypt which are not Christian nations and therefore do not follow the principles of the Bible. By following the hygienic laws of the bible, the Jews throughout the ages have managed to avoid many of the plagues and diseases that have stricken other cultures.
DAY 26
DAY 27
duty on the eighth day after birth. Only in recent
years has it been discovered that
the blood clotting factor in a baby doesn’t reach its
maximum peak
until the eighth day after birth and then it drops down again!
DAY 28
DAY 29
DAY 30
A Delicate Balance
could not exist. Plants
would burn during the day and then freeze during the night. If on
the other hand the rotation were to speed up too much, winds would
increase to unbelievable levels. In fact, Jupiter rotates on its
axis once every 10 hours and the winds there are in excess of 1000
MPH! So again, we see great precision in the design of the Earth,
and that is what allows it to support life. And when you see all of
these evidences of design you must logically expect there to be a
designer.
DAY 31
The Glue That Binds Us All
atoms and making the various elements (Hydrogen, Helium,
Oxygen, Iron, etc.) possible. If, however, this force was even 5%
weaker, then the only element that could exist on Earth would be
Hydrogen and that would make life impossible. At the same time, if
that same force were just 5% stronger, everything would clump
together into giant molecules. Life would also be impossible under
these conditions.
DAY 32
Thank God! The Sun is Right Where it Should Be
direction, life on Earth would be impossible? At the same
time, our Moon is right where it needs to be to both stabilize the
tilt of the Earth and to cleanse and nourish the sea through tides.
In fact, if the Moon were too close, then the tides would completely
submerge the continents twice a day.
DAY 33
Gasp!
DAY 34
I’m Stuck on this Planet
Gravity is what keeps us all pinned to the ground, and like so many other natural phenomena it has been set up perfectly. If the Earth’s gravitational
pull were to be increased just a few percent,
then some of the most dangerous gases in our atmosphere would
accumulate and make life impossible (i.e. Methane and Ammonia).
Reducing the gravitational pull would result in the loss of too much
water.
DAY 35
Are We Alone in the Universe?
DAY 36
The Miracle of Life
DAY 37
Life’s Really Little Instruction Book
full of information, and the RNA as the CD player. Without the RNA, the cells would have no way of understanding the information contained in the DNA—information that will tell the protein molecules to form or repair living cells! Even more staggering, however, is the fact that the instructions for building RNA are contained in the DNA. It would be like having a CD that contained all of the instructions detailing how to build a CD player. But with no CD player to play it on, how could you ever get those instructions out? Again we can’t help but see clear signs of intelligent design and the impossibility of life coming about purely by chance.
How Can Trial and Error Work When Error is Fatal?
DAY 39
The Ultimate Computer
comprised of anywhere from ten thousand to one hundred thousand connecting fibers. Each of these fibers, in turn, makes contact with other nerve cells in the brain, giving each of us about one thousand million possible connections. Such a number is beyond the reach of our wildest imagination and becomes even more staggering when we consider the fact that these connections are not just random occurrences. They are arranged in an intricate and extremely precise network. It’s difficult to conceive of such complexity and perfection coming about by accident.
DAY 40
The Human Brain
How many times have you heard people talking about how small a percentage of our brain power we actually use? Well, next time someone mentions that, there’s an important question that you should raise. How is it possible, using the theory of evolution, to explain this? Natural selection sure can’t explain it since those very capabilities were never used (by definition) and so could not possibly have provided any survival advantage.
DAY 41
DAY 42 MATHEMATICAL FINGERPRINT OF GOD
DAY 43
that the eye with all it’s inimitable
contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for
admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of
spherical and chromatic aberration, could have formed by natural
selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”
And he was right. There are over ten million light sensitive cells
packed tightly together in the retina of the human eye. Equally
astounding is the fact that these cells have a very high rate of
metabolism and are completely destroyed and replaced about once a
week! More staggering is the fact that each of these cells is vastly
more complex than even the most sophisticated computer. In fact, it
is believed that the retina conducts close to 10 billion [that’s
10,000,000,000
calculations every second, and that’s before the image even gets to
the brain!
