The Proof: An Engineer’s Proof that God did Author the Bible

---

Over forty miracles http://www.aboutbibleprophecy.com/miracles.htm  (this lists 40) were performed in public to validate the claims made by Jesus. He restored the dead, fed thousands from a few morsels, cleansed people of diseases and demons, restored sight to blind, and healed. Yet not a single eyewitness ever denied the facts. Even the Rabbinical priests acknowledge these miracles in their Talmud but attributed the power to demons and sorcery.  For scores of other miracles, visit https://christiananswers.net/dictionary/miracle.html  

All disciples, except John, disbanded, fled, and hid as Jesus died on the cross. However, after they were visited by the risen Jesus, they became emboldened, banded together, and organized the new believers. They refused to alter their resurrection witness even as an option to imprisonment or execution. Yet, hundreds were martyred for their belief that Jesus rose from the dead. Over 500 eyewitnesses saw the resurrected Jesus. Thousands of Jews became followers within weeks, and they changed their worship day from Saturday Sabbath to resurrection Sunday. They no longer limited Him to a Rabbi or teacher but worshipped Jesus as God. The New Testament letters were written while resurrection witnesses were still alive and could be questioned. Still, no secular historians ever disproved the resurrection. Historian, Flavius Josephus (ca. 37-97A.D.) wrote in “Antiquities” “He appeared to them alive on the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other things concerning Him".

     Mathematicians confirm Borel’s ‘Law of Chance’ to be true. It states, “odds beyond 1 in 10^50 (a number followed by 50 digits) have a zero probability of ever happening”. To be more conservative, we consider a premise is proven true when “the statistical evidence produces odds so large it cannot be reasonably visualized and expressed in measurable terms”.  An example is the ratio of the Universe’s mass divided by a Quark’s mass (smallest particle known to scientist). From Wikipedia The universe is less than 1x10^54kg and a quark is 3.56E-35 kg. This ratio is a number less than 90 digits in length.  

     If each prophecy of the 365 Messianic prophecies had a 50-50 chance of being fulfilled, it would yield 110-digit number (7.515x10^109) as the chance of each being correct. This exceeds a billion-billion times  the number defined by mass ratio between the universe and the quark.  If every fact discussed on this page (ignoring 

the untold others within the Bible) were assigned a realistic probability value, the   mathematical results would be unfathomable and incomprehensible to express in measurable terms. Add to this the perfection and harmony with inerrant and fulfilled historical, societal and messianic prophecy, along with the scientific knowledge, wisdom, and beauty from nearly forty independent and diverse authors, written in three different languages, on numerous different continents, over a 1500 year period proves the authorship of this Bible is impossible for mankind to achieve without supernatural intervention..

     Hence, we can confidently state:  The Biblical text was inspired (authored) and preserved by God Himself (albeit scribed by man). Since God authored the Bible it has His authority. Therefore, Biblical authority on any subject exceeds any other document or reasoning.
