Closer And Closer

For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. (2 Corinthians 13:8 ESV)

Science is beginning to confirm the Bible. It is getting closer and closer. Time seems to be the major point of disagreement.

Universe has a beginning
Science
The universe was the result of a big bang 13.7 billion years ago.
Bible
The universe was created in six days about 6000 years ago.

All men are descended from one man and all women are descended from one woman
Science
All men are descended from Y-chromosomal Adam (Y-MRCA), estimated to live about 60,000 to 340,000 years ago. He wasn't the only man around, but he was the one whose descendants survived.
All women are descended from Mitochondrial Eve (mt-MRCA) who lived about 200,000 years ago. This doesn't mean she was the first modern woman, rather it indicates that only her descendants survive to the present day.
Bible
All men are descended from Noah (remember the flood?) about 4500 years ago.
All women are descended from Eve about 6000 years ago.

Flood
Science
In a massive genetic study, senior research associate at the Program for the Human Environment at Rockefeller University Mark Stoeckle and University of Basel geneticist David Thaler discovered that virtually 90 percent of all animals on Earth came to being at the same time as humans did some 100,000 to 200,000 years ago.
Bible
All land animals were saved in Noah's ark 4500 years ago. The sea animals were not in the ark since they won't drown. There were no fish or octopus in the ark.

For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does. (Psalm 33:4 NLT)
