Ecclesiastes 1:9 and 3:14–15 hint at principles that represent the modern law of conservation of mass and energy. These verses suggest that the sun does not create anything new, and this is also similar to modern science, which suggests energy and mass are conserved

Inspired Scripture writes, “God also set the laws of physics in place that allow our universe to function and sustain life on Earth.” This comes from Job 38:31–33 which shows that the Bible touches on gravitational fields by speaking about creating a world that humans can live in

The Psalms describe movements and paths in the sea, which align with science’s discovery of ocean currents. Matthew Maury, who was the father of oceanography, was actually inspired by what the Bible had said about the sea and took these references as a way to map ocean currents.

Ecclesiastes 1:7 and Isaiah 55:10 describe the water cycle, even though this was a concept that was not fully understood by science until the 17th century. The hydrological cycle includes processes such as evaporation, cloud formation, and precipitation.

BibliaTodo writes, “Galileo Galilei eventually managed to disprove this assumption with a clever experiment, but long before he did this, the book of Job revealed that God ‘imparted weight to the wind and meted out the waters by measure’ (Job 28:25).”

Job 38:19–20 describes light as moving, and this aligns with modern science’s understanding of the speed of light. It contrasts with the ancient view that light was static. Modern physics has been able to confirm that light travels at a finite speed

1 Corinthians 15:41 acknowledges the uniqueness of each star. It has only just been confirmed by modern astronomy that each star is completely unique. Ancient views suggested that all stars were the same and did not have differing characteristics.

The Bible was the first to say that the number of stars is innumerable. For example, Heart Publications writes that the Bible “pre-empts this discovery of modern science, by declaring that the number of stars were too many to count.” Modern astronomy confirms this

Job 26:7’s depiction of Earth hanging on nothing contrasts with ancient cosmologies that said Earth rested on pillars or even animals. This biblical reference shows an understanding of Earth’s place in the void of space. This insight significantly predates any modern findings

Isaiah 40:22 in the Bible, says, “He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.” This predates any other suggestions on the shape of the earth.

Genesis 1:1 aligns with this modern science consensus, and both the Bible and science agree that the universe had a beginning. The only difference is that the Bible states that God created the universe, while science believes in the Big Bang theory.
