I do agree that the Bible is “God’s history book of the universe”. I also understand what they mean by that. The meaning is that the history of the creation of the universe is written in God’s Word. We can know how the universe came into being by reading God’s account of what He did. We can also read the history of the creation of man and the history of the entrance of sin into the world. Science can tell us nothing about the existence of sin or of God’s creating man in His own image. The Bible tells us everything that we need to know to have faith that God told the truth about what He did and the results of man’s choice.

I also believe that the Bible, while not a science manual, has information in it that if heeded by man would keep us from making mistakes about God’s creation. By reading God’s word, we can know that the earth was a sphere, not flat, for example.

I firmly believe that God’s Word was written as it was with inspired words and inspired grammar so that all of our spiritual questions will be answered sufficiently for us to have faith in God. I trust that the Bible is an accurate ruler to measure other claims of truth.
