Does True Science Contradict the Bible?

Direct Answer

No, true science does not contradict the Bible.

Scripture is divinely inspired and therefore internally consistent. When genuine scientific facts are properly understood, they agree with the Bible. Les Feldick shows that the same mathematics that proves Scripture's supernatural accuracy also reveals the inconsistency of those who accept science's oddest theories while rejecting God's Word.

Key Scriptures

2 Peter 1:21 — This verse establishes that the Bible did not come from human thinking but from the Holy Spirit, so it cannot contain contradictions with true truth.

2 Peter 1:20 — This verse warns that Scripture is never a private interpretation, meaning every part must be compared with every other part.

What Does the Bible Say?

The Bible claims that all prophecy—all of Scripture—came from God, not from any human will. In 2 Peter 1:21, we read that 'holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.' Because the Holy Spirit is the author, the Book cannot contain real contradictions. The Bible also tells us that no Scripture is of any private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20), so each verse must be understood in light of the whole. When Scripture is compared with Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, every part fits together perfectly.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About Science and the Bible?

Les Feldick teaches that the Bible is not a book of contradictions. He points out that the same scoffers who claim the Bible is full of contradiction never stop to compare Scripture with Scripture. When a person does that, apparent contradictions fade away—and that is just as true when science seems to conflict with the Bible as when one verse seems to conflict with another.

Do Science and the Bible Contradict Each Other?

No. Les Feldick demonstrates this by showing that the Bible has no contradictions when you compare Scripture with Scripture (2,3). He also cites the work of mathematicians who proved that every verse of the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament fits mathematically—remove one word and the whole structure falls apart (4). True science, such as mathematics, serves to confirm, not contradict, the Word of God.

Why Do Some People Think the Bible Is Full of Contradictions?

Les says the first thing the scoffer claims is that the Bible is a book of contradictions. But he answers that 'no, it isn't'—everything fits when you compare Scripture with Scripture (3). He also explains that what some call contradictions are actually changes in operation, such as the difference between what God told Israel under Law and what He tells us under Grace (1). Apparent contradictions arise from taking one verse out of context, not from the Bible itself.

How Can We Know the Bible Is True?

Les points to two lines of evidence. First, the mathematical structure of the Bible is so precise that every verse fits together (4). Second, the Bible alone contains hundreds of prophecies that were fulfilled hundreds or thousands of years before they happened—and those that remain will come true (7). He also notes that scientists eagerly accept astonishing ideas like black holes—stars larger than our sun collapsing to the size of a pinhead—while they scoff at biblical miracles like a camel through the eye of a needle (5).

From the Teaching

Noah’s Flood Was Not Just Rain: The Fountains of the Great Deep Explained

the disappearance of much of the land surface of that free Noah time. We pointed out to someone who asked the question earlier that the land surface in that time from Adam to the flood was far greater than it is today. See, today 75 or 76 percent of the planet's surface is water. Only a small portion is earth or land, and even a small percentage of that is habitable. Most of it is uninhabitable.

No Contradictions in Scripture

Les responds to someone who asked why there are so many contradictions in the Bible, insisting there are none—only changes in God's operating program.

Compare Scripture With Scripture

Les explains that no Scripture is a private interpretation, so apparent contradictions fade away when you compare all Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.

The Holy Spirit Is the Author

Because the Holy Spirit inspired the writers, the Bible has no confusion or contradictions; everything fits when compared.

Mathematics Confirms the Bible

Les cites mathematical proof that every verse of the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament fits together, showing the Bible is supernatural and true.

Scientists Accept the Bizarre but Reject the Bible

Les challenges double standards: scientists believe in black holes yet scoff at biblical miracles, even though both are supernatural claims.

What the Holy Spirit Reveals to Believers - 1 Corinthians 2:9-13 Explained

And when you compare Scripture with Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, you're on as solid a rock as you can get. And that's all I beg people to do. Search the Scriptures. Don't go by what I say. And so Peter is making it so plain. Don't build your eternal destiny on one verse. You're going to end up in the wrong place.

Fulfilled Prophecy Proves the Bible

The Bible alone contains hundreds of prophecies written thousands of years early that all come true, proving it is the Word of God.

Bible Verses

2 Peter 1:20: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

This verse teaches that we must interpret each part of Scripture in light of the whole, so we cannot build a doctrine on one isolated verse.

2 Peter 1:21: For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

This verse shows that Scripture came from the Holy Spirit, so it cannot contain real contradictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Les Feldick believe science is against the Bible?

No. Les teaches that the Bible has no contradictions and that true science fits with Scripture. He points to mathematics as a genuine science that actually confirms the supernatural accuracy of the Bible.

What does Les Feldick say about scientists who reject the Bible?

Les notes the inconsistency of scientists who accept enormous supernatural claims like black holes but reject the Bible's miracles. He argues that if they can believe such things, they should also consider believing what God's Word says.

How can we know the Bible is true?

Les points to two proofs: the perfect mathematical structure of Scripture and the hundreds of fulfilled prophecies written hundreds or thousands of years in advance. Both show that the Bible is the Word of God.
