You are correct and proves beyond a doubt the Bible is the word of God. 2,000 to 3,000 years ago the Bible stated the following scientific facts, many of which had not been discovered until only a couple of hundred years ago in human history.
1.
The earth is a sphere. Everybody thought the earth was flat until a Christian name Columbus proved otherwise. Isaiah 40:22 - [It is] he that sitteth upon
the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers
2.
Innumerable stars. Until the 17th century everyone thought there was only about 6,000 of them. Jeremiah 33:22 - As
the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured
3.
Free float of the earth in space. Many back then believed the earth sat on a large animal. Job 26:7 - He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and]
hangeth the earth upon nothing.
4.
Creation made of invisible elements. Science was ignorant on this subject until until the 5th century and atoms weren't actually discovered until the 19th century. Hebrews 11:3 - 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.
5.
Each star is different. Until the 16th century scientists thought all stars were the same. 1 Corinthians 15:41 - [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars:
for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory.
6.
Light moves. It wasn't until around 1000 A.D. that light wasn't fixed in place. Job 38:19,20 -
Where [is] the way [where] light dwelleth? and [as for] darkness, where [is] the place thereof, 20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and
that thou shouldest know the paths [to] the house thereof?
7.
Air has weight. It was thought that air was weightless until 1640 A.D. Job 28:25 -
To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
8.
Ocean floor contains deep valleys and mountains. Before scientists invented sonar, many people believed the ocean floor was a completely flat surface. Jonah 2:6 -
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;
9.
Ocean contains springs. These weren't discovered until 1970. Job 38:16 - Hast thou entered into
the springs of the sea?
10.
When dealing with disease, hands should be washed under running water. Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 1845, a young doctor in Vienna named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the terrible death rate of women who gave birth in hospitals. As many as 30 percent died after giving birth. Semmelweis noted that doctors would examine the bodies of patients who died, then, without washing their hands, go straight to the next ward and examine expectant mothers. This was their normal practice, because the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. Semmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands before examinations, and the death rate immediately dropped to 2 percent. Look at the specific instructions God gave His people for when they encounter disease: "And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean" (Leviticus 15:13).
Until recent years, doctors washed their hands in a bowl of water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. However, the Bible says specifically to wash hands under "running water."
