Can gold really be put into solution the way the Bible describes Moses doing with the golden calf?
Yes. According to the context, gold can be put into solution. The scoffer once asked who ever heard of such a thing, but gold shots for arthritis actually placed gold in solution. Therefore Scripture was chemically correct; Moses could put the gold into solution and make the children of Israel drink it.
Les explains that the Bible never contradicts science. For years the scoffer mocked the idea of putting gold into solution, but Les points to gold shots once given to arthritic patients as proof that gold can actually be put into solution. So the account is chemically correct: Moses burned the calf, ground it to powder, strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
