Anticipated

Back. Happy St. Raymond's Day.

This letter to an editor says:

Although the Bible isn’t a science book, it contains references that anticipate scientific discovery by hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of years . . .thousands of years ago the psalmist wrote: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” (Psalm 139:13). This verse anticipates that we are literally knitted or woven together at the molecular level.

There's more. Under the Law of Moses, Jewish women are unclean, well, pretty much while they're infertile. Someone I pointed this out to said "But they didn't know about women's cycles back then." (They may have had a vague idea, but it seems it wasn't proven until 1905.)  But God knew -- and knew also that a third of the Jews would be killed in the 1940's.

And how did the author of Genesis know the order in which creatures came to existence -- even if he got the timing off by a few million years?

And what are we being readied for right now?
