- The Bible is the sole objective source of all the revelation God has given us about Himself and His plan for humanity.
- 00:53
- The Bible contains a great deal of information about the natural world that has been confirmed by scientific observations and research.
- 01:01
- Some of these passages include Leviticus 17, verse 11, Ecclesiastes 1, verses 6 -7,
- 01:09
