Less than a third of mankind is classified Christian today. Islam is the fastest growing world religion. There are a billion Hindus who worship thousands of gods. Men follow a whole array of other religions as well. Atheist groups deny the existence of any God at all. So, who of all these is right? The God of the Bible deems all other deities false and declares himself the one true God of all mankind. How can we know if this claim is true? Let us apply certain tests to the Bible and see if it holds up.

Science is knowledge of the universe systematically accumulated by study, observation and experiments. The sacred books of all religions do make statements within the field of science. If a sacred book’s scientific observations turn out to be just superstitions reflecting the culture of the book’s times, then that book’s credibility comes under question, even as it may contain great morals. But if the statements of an ancient religious book perfectly agree with the discoveries of modern science, then that book has a lot more to make the case for being truly divinely inspired.
