Study Notes
Biblical References to Chemistry and Physics
- The 40th chapter of Isaiah references the precise measurement and ordering of the universe by the Creator.
- The interactions of elemental particles are controlled by their structure, and these interactions are limited by the valence structure of each atomic element.
- The Bible accurately describes chemical reactions, such as fermentation, and mentions specific elements and minerals.
- Water, the most common and important chemical compound, is highlighted in the Bible as the primeval substance in which all other elements were created.
- Water is involved in numerous chemical and biological processes, as indicated in 2 Peter 3:5.
- The Bible anticipates the development of sciences like chemistry, geology, and meteorology, as it references the earth being constituted and maintained through water.
- The physical universe involves energy exchange, and the Bible is consistent with scientific knowledge regarding energy and power concepts, even though these concepts are modern discoveries.
- Scripture speaks of the power of the Word of God to convict and illuminate the mind and heart of individuals, and this power is intimately associated with the concept of the power of God in the physical realm.
- The term "the word of God" is used to refer to the Scriptures, any form of communication from God to man, and the Lord Jesus Christ himself.
