Is this scientific proof of the authenticity of the Bible!? There is a scripture in Luke that describes the moment Jesus was crucified and passed away:” It was now about noon and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon because of an eclipse of the sun.” -Luke 23:44-45 NASA has confirmed there was a solar eclipse in 33 A.D, the year when Jesus was crucified! Furthermore I checked out some information on solar eclipses and they tend to last about 3 hours, with the totality (the total blockage of the sun) lasting about 2 minutes, this agrees with the description of the solar eclipse in the scripture! They did not know the length of a solar eclipse back in the days of the bible, this is known only to modern science!

I also did some research on the chances of a solar eclipse occurring at any given place on the earth and it is only once every 100 years! The odds of a solar eclipse occurring at the exact place and time that Jesus was on the cross are astronomical, way too high to be a freak thing! It was clearly supernatural! The bible described the eclipse as lasting 3 hours which points to a complete solar eclipse which is very rare and only cover about a 50 mile radius on the earth and only occurs once every 100 years.
