Bible: Faith Verses
Heaven and Earth (Bible knew before Science)
Genesis 1
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[5] . And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Scripture reveals the Sun was created first, not the earth.
"Heliocentrism, or heliocentricism,[1] is the astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the center of the Solar System. The word comes from the Greek (????? helios "sun" and ???t??? kentron "center"). Historically, Heliocentrism was opposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center. The notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos,[2] but at least in the medieval world, Aristarchus's Heliocentrism attracted little attention-possibly because of the loss of scientific works of the Hellenistic Era.[3]
It was not until the 16th century that a geometric mathematical model of a heliocentric system was presented, by the Renaissance mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus, leading to the Copernican Revolution. In the following century, Johannes Kepler elaborated upon and expanded this model to include elliptical orbits, and Galileo Galilei presented supporting observations made using a telescope." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliocentrism
Genesis 1
[9] And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Scientists have proven that all sea water was historically all in 'one place'.
A super continent called 'Pangea' once existed, clumping together all the current continents which left the rest of the earth to be filled with water. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea
Psalms 102
[25] Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
[26] They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
We now know the Sun or any star has a life expectancy. "The Sun today is roughly halfway through the most stable part of its life. It has not changed dramatically for over four billion[a] years, and will remain fairly stable for more than five billion more. However, after hydrogen fusion in its core has stopped, the Sun will undergo severe changes, both internally and externally." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Life_phases "Stars eventually must exhaust their supply of hydrogen fuel and burn out." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future
"The biological and geological future of Earth can be extrapolated based upon the estimated effects of several long-term influences. These include the chemistry at Earth's surface, the rate of cooling of the planet's interior, the gravitational interactions with other objects in the Solar System, and a steady increase in the Sun's luminosity. " From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_Earth
Psalms 72
[7] In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
Speaking of when the Sun eventually wears out, Wikipedia states: "The drag from the solar atmosphere may cause the orbit of the Moon to decay. Once the orbit of the Moon closes to a distance of 18,470 km (11,480 mi), it will cross the Earth's Roche limit. This means that tidal interaction with the Earth would break apart the Moon, turning it into a ring system. Most of the orbiting ring will then begin to decay, and the debris will impact the Earth. Hence, even if the Earth is not swallowed up by the Sun, the planet may be left moonless.[91] " From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_Earth#Red_giant_stage
Isaiah 51
[13] And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; .
"Hubble's law is considered the first observational basis for the expansion of the universe and today serves as one of the pieces of evidence most often cited in support of the Big Bang model.[3][4] The motion of astronomical objects due solely to this expansion is known as the Hubble flow.[5]" . From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble%27s_law
Jeremiah 31
[37] Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
According to the general theory of relativity, some regions of space may never interact with ours even in the lifetime of the Universe due to the finite speed of light and the ongoing expansion of space. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe#Size_and_regions
Scientists have discovered the earth has a molten core. "The inner core of the earth , as detected by seismology, is a solid sphere about 1,216 km (760 mi) in radius, or about 70% that of the Moon. It is believed to be an iron-nickelalloy, and may have a temperature similar to the Sun's surface, approximately 5778 K (5505 °C). " From: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_core See pictures here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_of_the_Earth
Isaiah 51
[6] Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Smoke like images have been discovered from black holes called 'Relativistic Jets'.
"Black holes of stellar mass are expected to form when very massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle. After a black hole has formed, it can continue to grow by absorbing mass from its surroundings. By absorbing other stars and merging with other black holes, supermassive black holes of millions of solar masses (M?) may form. There is general consensus that supermassive black holes exist in the centers of most galaxies." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole#Singularity
"Relativistic jets are beams of ionised matter accelerated close to the speed of light. Most have been observationally associated with central black holes of some active galaxies, radio galaxies or quasars, and also by galactic stellar black holes, neutron stars or pulsars." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrophysical_jet

Isaiah 40
[22] It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Of course, we now know the earth is round as opposed to flat, as previously believed
Psalms 90
[4] For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
The proper distance-the distance as would be measured at a specific time, including the present-between Earth and the edge of the observable universe is 46 billion light-years (14 billion parsecs), making the diameter of the observable universe about 91 billion light-years (28×109 pc). The distance the light from the edge of the observable universe has travelled is very close to the age of the Universe times the speed of light, 13.8 billion light-years (4.2×109 pc), but this does not represent the distance at any given time because the edge of the observable universe and the Earth have since moved further apart.[51] For comparison, the diameter of a typical galaxy is 30,000 light-years, and the typical distance between two neighboring galaxies is 3 million light-years.[52] As an example, the Milky Way is roughly 100,000 light years in diameter,[53] and the nearest sister galaxy to the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, is located roughly 2.5 million light years away.[54] Because we cannot observe space beyond the edge of the observable universe, it is unknown whether the size of the Universe is finite or infinite.[55][56][57]" From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe#Size_and_regions
See also Psalms 68:33: To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
Live Forever
Deuteronomy 11
[21] That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
"Most stars are between 1 billion and 10 billion years old. Some stars may even be close to 13.8 billion years old-the observed age of the universe. " From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star#Age
England from the 16th to 18th century had life expectancies of 33-40 years of age. Today, life expectancy in a developed country is greater than 80. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy
""life extensionists", "immortalists" or "longevists" (those who wish to achieve longer lives themselves), believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation, stem cells, regenerative medicine, molecular repair, gene therapy, pharmaceuticals, and organ replacement (such as with artificial organs or xenotransplantations) will eventually enable humans to have indefinite lifespans (agerasia[1]) through complete rejuvenation to a healthy youthful condition." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_extension
Also, if stars and planets are made out of matter, a fundamental tenet of physics states that matter, although morphable into one form or another, does not disappear. As such, if one could live as 'the days of heaven', one could indeed live infinitely. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter
See Also Isaiah 65:20: "Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed. (NIV)
Fair Face
Genesis 6
[2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
"Facial symmetry has been shown to have an effect of ratings of attractiveness in human faces.[1][3] More symmetrical faces are perceived as more attractive in both males and females, although facial symmetry plays a larger role in judgments of attractiveness concerning female faces.[9] " From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_symmetry
Knowledge Revolution
Proverbs 2
[6] For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Genesis 28:14 states ".and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." From: http://biblehub.com/genesis/28-14.htm
"The scientific revolution is a concept used by historians to describe the emergence of modern science during the early modern period, when developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology (including human anatomy) and chemistry transformed the views of society about nature.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The scientific revolution took place in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance period and continued through the late 18th century, influencing the intellectual social movement known as the Enlightenment. While its dates are debated, the publication in 1543 of Nicolaus Copernicus's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) is often cited as marking the beginning of the scientific revolution." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_revolution
"The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, improved efficiency of water power, the increasing use of steam power, the development of machine tools and the rise of the factory system.
The Industrial Revolution marks a major turning point in history; almost every aspect of daily life was influenced in some way. In particular, average income and population began to exhibit unprecedented sustained growth. Some economists say that the major impact of the Industrial Revolution was that the standard of living for the general population began to increase consistently for the first time in history, although others have said that it did not begin to meaningfully improve until the late 19th and 20th centuries.[3][4][5] At approximately the same time the Industrial Revolution was occurring, Britain was undergoing an agricultural revolution, which also helped to improve living standards and provided surplus labour available for industry." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution
"The Information Age (also known as the Computer Age, Digital Age, or New Media Age) is a period in human history characterized by the shift from traditional industry that the Industrial Revolution brought through industrialization, to an economy based on information computerization. The onset of the Information Age is associated with the Digital Revolution, just as the Industrial Revolution marked the onset of the Industrial Age.[1][2] From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Age
All Promises Fulfilled
Joshua 21
[45] There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
The context of this verse is just after the partitioning of the promised land to the individual tribes of Israel. A documentary movie, 'Patterns of Evidence', provides actual archeological proof of the events of the Exodus.

Head not Tail
Deuteronomy 28
[13] And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
"The European colonial period was the era from the 16th century to the mid-20th century when several European powers established colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. At first the countries followed a policy of mercantilism, designed to strengthen the home economy at the expense of rivals, so the colonies were usually allowed to trade only with the mother country. By the mid-19th century, however, the powerful British Empire gave up mercantilism and trade restrictions and introduced the principle of free trade, with few restrictions or tariffs." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonialism
See Also: Isaiah 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation [deliverances]: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
See Also: Genesis 12:2: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
