46. Intelligent Design

The ATP synthase machine with rotary motor is able to produce about 100 ATP molecules per second with near-100% efficiency. ATP synthase is irreducibly complex, which means that all parts of the machine had to be present at its beginning.

15. Isaiah the Prophet

Isaiah/Yeshayah the Prophet (ca. 760-680 BC). A City of David bulla reads: lysayh nvy: "Belonging to Yeshayah the Prophet." The spelling for prophet is also found in Dead Sea Scroll 1QIsa(a) for Isaiah 28:7 and 1QDeut(a) for Deuteronomy 13:4.

170. Prophecy of the Messiah

Isaiah 53:5 (DSS): “But he was wounded for our transgressions … and by his wounds we are healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 (Sinaiticus): “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree ... By his wounds we are healed.”

107. Bible Antiquity

While excavating a tomb near Jerusalem in 1979, two silver scroll amulets dated paleographically to 650-586 BC were uncovered, having writing from the book of Numbers 6:24-26 in Paleo-Hebrew, providing evidence for the antiquity of the Pentateuch.

37, 81, 114. Biblical People in Inscriptions

Nergal-sar-ezer, Nebu-sar-sekim and Nebuzaradan are mentioned in 2Kings 25:8ff and Jeremiah 39:3, and the names have been found in tablet BM 114789 and prism ES7834. The writers of 2 Kings and Jeremiah must have lived at that time.

159. Biblical People in Inscriptions

The Tel Dan Stele (9th cent. BC) mentions "House of David." The Dhibon Mesha Stele (9th cent. BC) reads “Davidic lion” and “House of David.”

106. Intelligent Design

Helicases are essential enzymes involved in all aspects of nucleic acid metabolism including DNA replication, repair and transcription. The helicase PcrA can unwind DNA for transcription at an incredible rate of over 1000 base pairs per second.

98. Book of Nehemiah

The Elephantine papyri span the 5th-4th centuries B.C. A letter dated 407 B.C. mentions “Sanballat, the governor of Samaria,” who is written about in Nehemiah 2:10, etc. The writer of the book of Nehemiah must have lived at that time.

161. Prophecy of the Messiah

51. Intelligent Design: Complex Molecular Machines

The bacterial flagellum is powered by a rotary motor which has a drive shaft, universal joint, rotor, bushings, stator, and a clutch and braking system. It has a near 100% efficiency and displays a clear top-down design logic.

71. Intelligent Design

The planthopper Issus coeleoptratus nymph has real, mechanical, interdigitating gears near the top of its hindlegs. The purposeful arrangement of parts is reasonably and persuasively explained by reference to an intelligent cause.

58. Intelligent Design

V-type ATPase is an ATP-driven rotary molecular motor that is a transmembrane proton pump in all eukaryotic cells. It provides most of the energy needed for transport systems that utilize the proton-motive force generated by ATP hydrolysis.

104. Pool of Bethesda

John wrote about a Bethesda pool with five porticoes. Excavations revealed a rectangular pool bounded by porticoes on four sides, with the fifth portico separating the upper and lower pools. The northern pool section was a reservoir, the southern a mikveh.

17. Biblical People in Inscriptions
