of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending
also he will deliver it; and passing
over he will preserve it."
Isaiah 31.5
What scientific foreknowledge did this passage contain?
Was it;

b) missile early warning satellite systems
c) global navigation systems
d) the wave particle duality of matter
Question 2.

According to conservapedia, what knowledge did this foretell?
a) Plate tectonics
b) Heisenberg uncertainty principle ***
c) the hydroplate theory

PS: having read through the other comments, I'm kinda worried that I scored as high as I did. And my dice is now in the post to the other side of the atlantic, where it doubtless longs to be...
