This document discusses how scientific statements made in the Bible have been shown to be accurate based on modern scientific discoveries. It provides numerous examples from passages in the Bible related to topics like the creation of the universe, stars, weather patterns, human anatomy, and health that have been later confirmed by science. The overall message is that the accuracy of the Bible's statements on these matters helps validate it as literally true.
