Archaeological  evidence supports the Bible.

There have been over 25,000 archaeological finds that provide support regarding people, their titles, and their locations mentioned in the Bible.  Interestingly, not one of those 
finds has  contradicted the Bible. As a matter of fact, these discoveries reveal the Bible as being true. Nelson Glueck, the renowned  Jewish archaeologist, wrote:

It may be stated categorically  that no archaeological discovery has ever contraverted a Biblical reference. 

That is amazing. The text is historically trustworthy.

Millar Burrows states:

The Bible is supported by archaeological evidence again and again. On the whole there can be no question that the results of excavation have increased the respect of scholars for the Bible as a collection of historical documents.

Scientific evidence supports the Bible.

One of the most convincing pieces of evidence supporting the truth of the Bible is the scientific nature of that book. I was always led to believe that science and the Bible did not and could not mesh together - that the two were in fact opposed to each other.

Now read how wrong I was:

Around 2,500years ago , science said that there were around 1,100  stars in the sky . But at about the same time, the prophet Jeremiah said (33:22) "...
the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured..."  Jeremiah said they were uncountable.

And now, after looking

 at the awe inspiring 
pictures sent back to 
earth by the Hubble 
Deep Space Telescope, 
we know that the stars
 of the sky are
 uncountable to man.  (Of course, they are not uncountable to God, Who "telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names."  Psalm 147:4

Science used to teach that the world sat on the back of a large animal. The reason scientists taught this was because they couldn't believe that the flat earth wasn't supported by something.

I recently read that a small boy, confronted with the awesome fact that the earth simply hangs in space, decided to believe instead that it rested on the back of a turtle. When asked what the turtle was standing on, he said, "Another turtle."  When asked what that turtle was standing on, he said, "Its just turtles all the way down." 

Job 26: 7 says of God, "He stretcheth  out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. "

That statement was written 3,500 years ago. The Bible has always said that the earth was hanging in space. And , of course, with our science and our space exploration today, we know that to be a fact.

In the book of Hebrews we read this statement :  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3)

That statement was written almost 2,000 years ago. From this we see that the Bible has always stated that things that we see are made of invisible things.This never made sense to most people,  - until, of course, it was discovered that there are really invisible elements called "atoms."
