Does science prove that the Bible is true?
Contrary to popular belief, everything in the Word of God actually appears scientifically verifiable. On the mountain, God told Moses to make sure that the tabernacle was, constructed according to the pattern He gave him (Hebrews 8:5). In the same way, everything in this universe can be, understood as adhering to a heavenly pattern.
Logics of the Kingdom serves as a theoretical answer to the age-old questions...
