New Trivia

Isaiah : Science (32)

  1. "When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth." 2:19, 21
  2. "He has stretched forth his hand against them ... and the hills did tremble." 5:25
  3. "He [God] ... will hiss unto them from the end of the earth." (The earth is flat and has an end.) 5:26
  4. "And the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den." A cockatrice is a serpent, hatched from a cock's egg, that can kill with a glance. They are rare nowadays. 11:8
  5. God will gather up the people of Judea "from the four corners of the earth." In the Bible's view, the earth is flat with four corners. 11:12
  6. The moon produces its own light and the earth does not move (except when God gets angry and shakes the heavens). 13:10-13
  7. When God gets really angry, he causes earthquakes. 13:13
  8. Dragons will live in Babylonian palaces and satyrs will dance there. 13:21-22
  9. Out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent." What ever happened to these fascinating biblical creatures? 14:29
  10. "The foundations of the earth do shake ... The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard."
    (Earthquakes are all a part of God's wondrous plan.) 24:18-20
  11. God will punish the leviathan ("that crooked serpent") with his own sword and will kill the sea dragon. 27:1
  12. Natural disasters (earthquakes, storms, fires, tsunamis) are caused by, and are a sign of, God's wrath. 29:7
  13. Among the many strange creatures mentioned in the Bible that no longer seem to exist is the "fiery flying serpent." 30:6
  14. "The light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold." Well, this is one prophecy that will never come true. Since the moon has no light of its own, but only reflects that of the sun, it could never shine like the sun. And the sun will not, at least not while there are humans to see it, shine 7 times as bright as it does now. 30:26
  15. "The LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his armwith the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones." 30:30
  16. "The host of heaven shall be dissolved ... and ... shall fall down."
    The stars will dissolve and fall from the sky. 34:4
  17. "And the unicorns shall come down with them." 34:7
  18. Dragons and satyrs may not seem real to you, but they did to the author of these verses. 34:13-14
  19. "In the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes." 35:7
  20. After hearing Hezekiah's prayers and seeing his tears, God promises to add fifteen years to Hezekiah's life. 38:5
  21. God makes the sun move backwards 10 degrees. Now that's a neat trick! 38:8

  22. God sits on the circle of the earth. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, or a tent to dwell in. 40:22

  23. God made the stars, presumably all at once on day four of creation, and "not one faileth." But new stars are being formed today and old stars are dying, just as they have been doing for the last 13 billion years or so. 40:26
  24. Dragons and owls will thank God for irrigation. 43:20
  25. I made the earth with my hands, and stretched out the heavens. 45:12
  26. God set the earth on foundations so it doesn't move, his hand is as big as the universe, and the stars stand up straight when he calls them. 48:13
  27. The stars will vanish, the earth will grow old, and everything that lives on it will die. 51:6
  28. God cut Rahab (the sea monster) to pieces, wounded the dragon, and dried up the sea. 51:9-10
  29. Bad people hatch poisonous cockatrice eggs. Whoever eats the eggs will die, and when the eggs are crushed a viper hatches out of them. 59:5
  30. "Neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee." Of course the moon doesn't give off light, but only reflects the light from the sun. 60:19
  31. "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb...." I wonder what will become of the spiders. Will they be more friendly toward flies? And will the parasitic wasps find another way to feed their larvae? Or will they continue to feed off the living bodies of caterpillars? 11:6, 65:25
  32. Immortal worms: "Their worm shall not die" 66:24
