Great scientific discoveries prefigured in the Old testami

Great scientific discoveries prefigured in the Old testami   ? Great scientific discoveries in the Old Testament? Author: Terry Leon Dashner of Broken Arrow, OKThe bubonic plague killed half the population of England. Some entire villages were destroyed by the disease. But it is clear to everyone that the Jewish people was a plate. Because they escape? For about 3000 years before bacteria were discovered, the Creator has given instructions that in the Old Testament Book of Moses, to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. These instructions require a rigorous cleaning and isolated, purified, and after contact with sick or dead. Jews follow these instructions, and their lives were spared.Ignaz Semmelweiss lived from 1818 to 1865. He was a Hungarian obstetrician, and was associated with the Vienna General Hospital, where he was a medical student obstetrics. One day he was walking through the lobby of the hospital when he noticed a short-term pregnant woman, weeping inconsolably. When asked why he was informed that the mother was desperate for the obstetrics department of the medical students and midwives. For her, that was a death sentence. They preferred the midwife, medical student, because the section has had a terrible reputation postpartum infection. The invitation was rightly deserved. One of the women who are six students in the medical died.Dr. Semmel Weiss asked what the difference between medical students and midwives. Suddenly, he realized the difference was perhaps the anatomy laboratory. On that day it was common for medical students to dissect cadavers in anatomy lab, while the mother worked in a nearby station. Every now and then, students of the laboratory to evaluate the progress of their patients with an inteal examination. Dr. Semmelweiss wondered if there was a link between students, the medical care of the dead corpses in the laboratory, and then, without washing their hands, for the inteal checks on working women. He decided to order his disciples to wash their hands in limewater before the tests on women. Within one month the mortality rate of women is one of six to one in eighty-four! The results were indicative of the benefits of following the biblical teaching on cadavers and cleanliness.Today know about the transmission of bacteria that arise from the dead bodies of women. They did not know of Dr. Semmelweiss "time. Many more lives would be saved much suffering and to avoid, if only people of faith accepted by the Old Testament teaching about the cleaning and circulation (the word for health, Dr. Michael D. Jacobson, Moody Press, 2000). In investigating the science of the ancient world, it is more suitable impressed with his ignorance to admire, as the accuracy. But the Bible offers a clear exception to this rule. The writings are equipped with the scientific explanations that, prior to the discoveries of secular science. Given that the writers of the Bible are not scientists, and the fact that scientific information is often misleading, the accuracy of the Bible can only be done at the inspiration of God (? Examples of scientific accuracy in the Bible ? David Pyles). Let me begin with the selection of some of these biblical guess. Firstly, 10:25 a.m. Genesis mentions Peleg, whose name means division. The text then explains that he is so called because in his days the earth was. And 'now generally assumed that all the continents of the earth once a single continent, Pangea. This conviction is based on the fact that the present continents appear as pieces of a puzzle. There is also other evidence, including several geological similarities corresponding continental edges (? Examples of scientific accuracy in the Bible? David Pyles). Second is the fact that the earth is spherical is usually as a last knowledge. However, Isaiah 40:22 says, the circumference of the earth about 750 years before Christ. Other statements in the Bible emphasizes that God is this truth long ago. For example, David said that God has removed our transgressions from us as to the east from the west (Ps 103:12). On a spherical surface, east and west are infinitely separated in the sense that it is an unlimited travel in both directions, without reaching the other side. However, Solomon describes how the wind blows in the circuit, initially in a southerly direction and then tu toward the north. North and South are not infinitely separated as east and west, south, because a passenger on a spherical surface is to the north, after crossing the South Pole (David Pyles). Third, this: What is man that you know him? and the son of man, that you visited? For him you have a 'lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. You madest him to dominate on the works of your hands, you have all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field, the chicken from the sky and the fish of the sea, and passes through the paths of seas. Matthew Maury (1806-1873) is generally known as the father of oceanography. He was among the first to discover and systematically chart ocean currents. Maury claimed that his research was inspired by Psalm 8:4-8 (David Pyles). Fourth, in Leviticus 17:11 says that? The life of the flesh is in the blood? (KJV). That? It is very interesting, because science didn? T know the properties of blood until centuries after the Law of Moses by God on Mount Sinai. Every old Jew was taught the value of God? S word of everyday life and its spiritual value. Every Jew was taught that Leviticus 17:11 the lifespan of living organisms. If the blood drained from his victim, the lamb is dead, so that the blood is equal to life. Once again, it was centuries after the biblical knowledge that the blood has been using science to circumvent body.Fifthly human, it was not? T until the time of Pasteur, that the germs were discovered, as the authors of French wine to spoil. Remove grazing microbes? Pasteurization? of wine. The process is still being produced with the milk. The Old Testament as some forbidden dirty meat intended for human consumption. Today we know that many of these banned meat if not properly prepared and cooked, they may be sick or cause death to human beings because of the lack bacteria.Time not allow me to list the Bible? S instructions on washing, if through illness and death. Or if what the Bible says that as regards the effectiveness of quarantine for the treatment of diseases and the importance of early diagnosis of diseases of the skin. The Bible, if not more than a regular old book, is certainly unusual in its scientific accuracy foreboding. I believe that? S, why? And the more that an old book. And 'the holy word of God with a scientific precision, long before inductive reasoning has been questioned, which was unchallenged until the age of Enlightenment. Keep the faith.
