Does the Bible Teach Bogus Science?


Listen Later

Can the Bible be trusted when it describes the natural world? Some claim it reflects primitive cosmology, portraying a solid dome sky with stars embedded within it and waters above. If true, this would challenge the Bible’s reliability. But what do the Bible’s own words reveal?

Explore how terms like “firmament” and descriptions of heavenly waters are understood in their original context. Is the Bible mistaken about science, or does it use poetic and observational language common in human expression? Keaton Halley delves into these questions, addressing claims about solid skies, heavenly oceans, and the movement of stars.

By examining ancient Near Eastern texts and biblical language, Halley demonstrates why Scripture’s authority remains intact. He highlights the significance of interpreting the Bible within its context and trusting its claims about both the natural and spiritual realms.
