Biblical scientific foreknowledge is a belief that certain Bible passages knew about scientific facts before scientific discovery.
Bible verses cited as scientific foreknowledge
Earth floating free in space
Job 26:7 (ESV) states that God "hangs the Earth on nothing.", It also contrasts with ancient Hindu [1] and Native American myths that the Earth hangs on a turtle.
Blood circulation
Leviticus 17:11 (ESV) states, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood", [2] blood circulation was not discovered until 17th century by William Harvey. [3]
William Harvey cited Leviticus 17:11 on "On Generation". [4]
Modern science agrees that blood is essence for life because it carries oxygen, food, hormones. [5]
Universe expansion
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; Isaiah 40:22 (ESV)
Hebrew word "natah" in the verse means to stretch out or extend. [6] universe expansion was not discovered by secularists until 20th century. [7]
Uncountable stars
Even as the stars of heaven cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so too I will make innumerable the descendants of my servant David and the Levites who minister to me.” Jeremiah 33:22 (CSB)
Jeremiah 33:22 states number of stars cannot be counted by a human, [8] scientific estimate puts that number of stars are 1022 to 1024 . [9] but it would take human billions of years to count all of them.
Circumcision on the 8th day
Genesis 17:12 (ESV) commands circumcision to be on the 8th day, [10] Modern science suggests that optimal time to circumcise is the 8th day. [11][12]
Big bang
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:3 (KJV)
Genesis 1:3 matches the description of big bang, Big bang theory was not purposed until 20th century by Georges Lemaître.[13]
Ocean pathways
The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.. Psalm 8:8 (NKJV)
Psalm 8:8 mentions "the path of the seas", ocean pathways were not discovered until in 19th century by Matthew Fontaine Maury. [14]
Hygiene
Biblical sanitation laws predates germ theory, supported in 19th century. [15]
Wash yourself and clothes (Leviticus 15:4-27) — many cultures underemphasize bathing.
Poop in holes and cover them (Deuteronomy 23:12-13) — contrasts with modern river pooping.
Quarantine if diseased (Leviticus 14:8-9).
