The goal of the Bible is not to prove Science, nor is the goal of Science to prove the Bible. However, when you begin to look at a few things that are in the Bible, you can see the Bible spoke of things before Science came to accept them as fact. For example, long before Science knew anything about the molecular structure of anything, the Bible stated that things which are visible are made of invisible elements. Without a doubt the Bible was speaking about atoms, and today, Science is in agreement with this.
Take a look at some other commonalities between the Bible and Science.
