Avoid eating swine (Deut. 14:8) Known today that undercooked pork

causes trichinosis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis)

Strict sanitary and hygienic laws—about 3300 years before germs were discovered! Safeguards against the disease of human

waste (Deut. 23:12-14) Safeguards against germs on earthen vessels

(Lev. 6:28) Safeguards against germs from dead carcasses

(Lev. 11:31-35, 39, 40) Commands for cleanliness (Ex. 19:10; 29:4;

etc.)Sanitary measures for what was taken in battle (Num. 31:21-24)

“The history of wars fought prior to AD 1900 reveals that, typically, five times as many soldiers died of disease than from wounds sustained on the battlefield…Prior to the medical advances of the past 130 years, doctors did not know germs from human and animal waste caused infections that number among the greatest dangers to humanity” (Jeffrey, Grant R., 2010, “The Signature of God, Revised Edition: Conclusive Proof That Every Teaching, Every Command, Every Promise In The Bible Is True.” pp. 139, 140)

“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you

have understanding” (Job 38:4)

“Is this Ken Ham? …As for the Job quote, there are no foundations of the earth and the earth is not suspended in any way. The Bible was wrong about that and wrong about a lot of other matters of scientific concern. It has spiritual truths which can't be touched by science, but it was written in a scientifically illiterate time. We've advanced since then and have learned how to investigate God's creation with the rational brains bestowed us. Thus the great question …can Truth contradict Truth. You seem to think so as you don't acknowledge the evidence for an old earth. I really don't have much point except to amuse myself at this time as I know I am talking to a young earth creationist. I read most of the publications out of the Institute for Creation Research, so I'm very aware of the mental gymnastics you guys are capable of to fit a square peg into a round hole…” (exchange with cshorey, Disqus Digest, ibtimes.com)

Square Pegs In Round Holes?

Fitting millions of years in six days of the creation week (Gen. 1)Claiming that from absolute nothing came something absolutelyClaiming non-living material spawned lifeClaiming order, design, life, complexity, intelligence memory, and emotion evolved from a big bangClaiming Job 38:4 affirms the earth is resting upon physical foundations

Earth’s DescriptionEarth as a rotating circular sphere on nothing

“He hangs the earth on nothing…” (Job 26:7)

The Earth’s Water Cycle

Scientific Foreknowledge

Earth’s Water Cycle When was the Earth’s water cycle first discovered?“According to historians, the water cycle was discovered slowly over a period of painstaking years. However, Bernard Palissy is credited in the 16th century to be the scientist who compiled the theories that existed for years and ‘wrote’ our modern hydrological cycle. (http://www.iwaponline.com/ws/00701/0023/007010023.pdf) 

But much to the surprise of others, according to documents that date back to before the Common Era (thousands of years), knowledge of the water cycle existed then. These documents are found in the manuscripts of the Bible…” (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_was_the_water_cycle_discovered)
