Biblical scientific foreknowledge
Biblical scientific foreknowledge is a belief that certain Bible passages knew about scientific facts before scientific discovery.
Blood circulation
Leviticus 17:11 states, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood,"., [1] blood circulation was not discovered until 17th century by William Harvey. [2]
Universe expansion
Isaiah 40:22 says "who stretches out the heavens". [3] Hebrew word "natah" in Isaiah 40:22 means to stretch out or extend. [4] universe expansion was not discovered by secularists until 20th century. [5]
Uncountable stars
Jeremiah 33:22 says number of stars cannot be counted by a human. [6] scientific estimate puts that number of stars are 1022 to 1024 . [7] but it would take human billions of years to count all of them.
Circumcision on the 8th day
Genesis 17:12 commands circumcision to be on the 8th day. [8] Modern science suggests that optimal time to circumcise is the 8th day. [9][10]
