In the minds of many Christian scholars, science has always been the opposite of the Christian faith, and in the deep-rooted concept of these friends, the Bible is just a collection of myths and stories in Europe and the United States, which cannot withstand scrutiny, let alone be compared with science, and science is the source of the progress of human civilization.
Geographical nautical fleet
In human history, people have watched the sky rain and snow, but they didn't know where they came from or what caused the rainy season. It was not until the seventeenth century that the scientific theory of the earth's water cycle was slowly confirmed.
The Bible has long put forward this theory: the great rivers flow into the sea, but the sea is always dissatisfied, where the water in the rivers comes from, and where it still ends. The meaning of this sentence in the Bible highly summarizes the characteristics of the earth's atmospheric water cycle, 71% of the earth is ocean, the rest is land, the water vapor evaporated from the ocean forms clouds in the air, the clouds drift to the land to form rainwater into rivers, rivers flow into the sea, and so on.
Earth's water cycle
In junior high school geography class, the teacher told everyone that there is a regular monsoon system on the earth, and every year the winds blow around the world in a cyclical cycle, and this geographical feature was only discovered by scientists in the 19th century.
But in the Bible, thousands of years ago, the Bible was expressed in a language that people could understand at that time. The Bible describes that the wind blows southward and then northward, spinning and turning, and then turning back to its original path.
The geographical monsoon phenomenon proposed by the Bible is no different from the conclusions of modern scientific research, and the Bible's short words can be read by both highly educated and low-educated people, and it also accurately summarizes the main characteristics of the monsoon cycle in the northern and southern hemispheres of the world.
Not only that, but there are also regular currents in the oceans, and at the same time of year the sea water flows in a seemingly planned route, and if the law of the ocean currents is mastered, ships can use this to open up shipping lanes and save fuel.
Map of the Earth's Great Ocean Currents
Scientists discovered the existence of regular ocean currents in the global oceans very late, and it was finally confirmed in the sixties of the twentieth century, and people were able to formulate the most reasonable navigation routes based on monsoons and ocean currents.
It is very revealing that Maori, the discoverer of the sea waterways, became famous on the basis of Bible inspiration, and he was a Christian whose son was Xi to read the Bible every night. And when he heard the words of the Bible psalm, "All the fish of the sea that pass by the way of the sea shall be under his feet." He couldn't help but think, isn't the road in the sea just a shipping channel? His discovery has made outstanding contributions to human shipping.
People also have a relatively late understanding of atmospheric pressure in meteorology, and for a long time human beings have believed that air is weightless, invisible, intangible, and empty, and the only pictographic description of the existence of air is wind.

It wasn't until 1643 that Tony, a student of Galileo, proved that air has weight. Thousands of years ago, the Bible had already put forward the idea that air has weight, and in the Old Testament book of Job, it was written: God surveys the earth and the world, and determines the weight of the wind. In just one sentence, it is the same as science today, and the Bible enlightens people in a language that people can understand at the time, and it is amazing to be amazed at its wonder.
Science and Christian beliefs do not contradict each other, and we can see from the monsoons, shipping lanes, air pressure, and water cycles proposed in the Bible that the Christian Bible has put forward a lot of forward-looking guidance for science, and it has been confirmed by science step by step.
