Chapter 20: More Questions about Science

Connect …

God knows everything! He wrote the Bible so that we could know just a little about His mind. He
revealed to man of his thoughts about the design of the world and how we should live in the world to be
safe. It would behoove us to pay attention to His guidance.

Today we continue to look at the many scientific facts found in the Bible that were given long before
man discovered them to be true. While the Bible is not a book of science, it supports true science
because His Word is true. Let’s learn more about these discoveries…

Oceanography

In Ecclesiastes 1:7 we read All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place where the
streams come from there they return again. This statement, considered by itself, may not seem
profound at first glance. But when considered with additional evidence and other biblical passages, it
becomes all the more remarkable. Ecclesiastes 11:3a states that if the clouds be full of rain, they empty
themselves upon the earth. Amos 9:6b tells us that He...calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth
them out upon the face of the earth; the Lord is His name.
