Physics professor John Hubisz examined dozens of middle school science texts, and found some astonishing errors. Hopefully your high school and college texts are more accurate, but here are some of the errors professor Hubisz found, as reported by CNN:

A map showing the equator running through Texas and Florida. (It's actually about 1,500 miles south.)

A text that says humans can't hear sounds below 400 hertz. (But 47 notes on a piano are below 400 hertz!)

A description of the "bronze outer structure" of the Statue of Liberty. (The statue is copper.)

A picture showing the Statue of Liberty with the torch in her left hand. (It's in her right hand.)

A compass with "East" and "West" reversed.

Chemistry formulas and physics laws that are completely wrong.

When we study a book to learn the truth it contains, then find out it is just plain wrong, it can be discouraging. Humans make mistakes and humans write science texts. But if God were to write a book, and He did, now there's a book we can have confidence in! The Bible is reliable and accurate. "Your word is truth," said Jesus (John 17:17) and we can depend on the Word of God.
