e.g. electric bulb, car, train, nuclear power, TV, fridge etc ?.. Since god knows everything, scriptures of all religions should have mentioned these. How believers can explain this ?

Give your answer to this question below!
God did not write the Bible. Elvis Presley did. And he didn’t beleive in light bulbs.
I specifically recall some random passage that I reinterpreted vaguely to retro-actively give God credit for scientific discoveries even though the wording is murky and there are several other passages that directly contradict it, but damn it, some guy on the internet said a bunch of stuff I don’t really comprehend about why that passage proves the bible foretold of ICB Missiles and Velcro-sneakers, along with all the other mysteries of the Universe, and I know that he wouldn’t lie to me because he’s a Christian AND he has his own website. That proves it.
CHECKMATE ATHEISTS!!!
[ The Saints Reign with Christ 1000 Years ] And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.- Revelation 20:4
The BEAST is probably a supercomputer! Bible mentions only technologies which is relevant to expounding God’s will/word to mankind!
Peace.
For the people of that time, the mention of modern tech would have made the scriptures even more unbelievable to them who were not ready to accept it. As it is nearly all the messengers of God were considered as madman by their own people when they came with God’s scriptures. God is best knowing in all matters.
@ Muhammad Body of Dog….
“The Bible said the universe was created. It got that right.”……Wrong!!!
“The bible said we came from dust. Got that right too.”…..Wrong!!!
“The bible is not a book of predictions but of history, prophecy and revelation for God’s purpose.”….Wrong again!!!
“If you can’t believe the prophecies proven from Isaiah then the Bible talking of light bulbs for no reason certainly would not prove the value of the Bible to you.”….Really????
It’s a logical question, if the Bibles writers were inspired by God, then there would surely be something in there relevant to our time. Surely God would have wanted to prove to intelligent, non-gullible people in our time that he inspired it.
@ Linuxand….
All credible Bible Historians now believe that John the Divine who wrote the book of Revelation was referring to his own time and that the Anti-Christ aka The Beast was none other than the Roman Emperor Nero who was the most feared and hated man in the Christian World. From a commonly used code at the time, when 666 is deciphered it translates to Nero Caesar.
it was a little early in human evolution for the need of complex machines.
try to imagine someone in the future asking this question;
why didn’t the people of the 21st century break the speed of light ?
we are animals that are evolving, our history records this fact everyday. the more complex the human brain becomes, the more complex our machines become. we have come from chipping flint to chipping atoms.
those scriptures are histories, not crystal balls.
If people could truly see and predict the future,
why would anyone get out of beg in the morning?
The US patent office has granted over 7 million patents since the early 19th century when their numbering system was reorganised. Most of these involve 2 to 500 pages of detailed description. No scripture can hope to include the accumulated knowledge of humanity.
A number of important inventions which were never patented do appear in scriptures, such as clothing, pottery, metal work, writing, agriculture, glass, use of boats and of fire etc.
When I was in school I made a gyroscope….
I got some push-bike rims and made a very crude gyroscope to see if the movement of one wheel would effect the others as is commonly understood by this particular apparatus.
The first gyroscope was documented in 1817.
When I began reading the bible a few years later I was reading Ezekiel 1v16 an immediately thought of a gyroscope…….. http://bible.cc/ezekiel/1-16.htm
It is reputed that Einstein did not use a proof for his famous equation but rather reasoned about it for some ten years and then guessed it.
It is quite a leap in logic to arrive at E=mc2.
Similarly the concept of placing wheels inside of wheels and spinning them is also a leap in logic. Why would you do that? I wonder how many people through-out the ages read that passage in Ezekiel and thought I should do that and see what happens.
The original inventor makes no apparent reference to the Bible in his design however the concept is documented some 2400 years previously in Ezekiel.
