  1. Science and the Bible part 2

  2. Oceanography is the study of the history, geography, motions and chemical composition of the Ocean.

  3. The ocean: • Covers around 70% of the earth’s surface • Primary source of our life given rain

  4. The Water Cycle Job 36:27 For He draws up drops of water, Which distill as rain from the mist, 28 Which the clouds drop down And pour abundantly on man. 29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds, The thunder from His canopy?

  5. Amos 5:8 He calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth; The LORD is His name.(Around 760 B.C.) Ecclesiastes 1:7 All the rivers run into the sea, Yet the sea is not full; To the place from which the rivers come, There they return again. (Around 935 B.C.)

  6. The water cycle Wasn’t generally understood until the 16th or 17th century

  7. The topography of the ocean floor Acts 27:28 So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms. A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms. 20 fathoms = 120 feet 15 fathoms = 90 feet

  8. Psalm 33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses. Job 38:16 "Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep? In 1873 British scientist discovered a recess in the Pacific Ocean that was 5 ½ miles deep and then another team found an area that was over 6 miles deep.

  9. “Before the invention of echo-sounding equipment it was generally thought that the bottom of the oceans would present the appearance of plains, plateaus and gently rolling terrain. Now we know that it also has valleys and mountain ranges, and even canyons, to equal all the forms we find on land.” (A.E. Parr )

  10. Jonah 2:5 The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head 6 at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.

  11. Matthew Fontaine Murray discovered the sailing paths in the sea “Before Matthew Fontaine Murray lived there were no sailing lanes and no charts of the sea. One day, when he was ill, his son read to him from the eighth Psalm. He read that God put under man ‘…the fowls of the air, the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the sea.’ ‘Read that again’, he said. Upon hearing it the second time, the venerable scientists said, ‘If the Word of God says there are paths in the sea, they must be there. I will find them.’” (Dehoff, pg. 53).

  12. Sea Charts Bible

  13. Job 38:16 "Have you entered into the springs of the sea,.. Earliest mentioning of these springs in secular history comes from Strabo around 63 B.C. – 21 A.D.

  14. Noah’s Ark Built on 30:5:3 ratio450’ L – 75’ W – 45’ H Biggest boat on record until 1858

  15.    “In March, 1919, the government of the United States launched its first concrete ship at San Francisco. The dimensions were 300 feet, by 50 feet, by 30 feet. This is the same proportion as the ark, which Noah built. Even with all our modern development in shipbuilding we still hold to approximately the same proportions as those used by Noah in building his boat” (Dehoff, pg. 51).

  16. The Ocean and Evolution • NO TIME = NO EVOLUTION! • Consider this: • 2 Billion tons of sediment are dumped from the rivers into the oceans each year. • All the earth’s continents will erode away is some 14 million years. • “Why, in the course of millennial, is there so astonishingly little sediment on the ocean floor? “

  17. Physics Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were The first law of Thermodynamics states that neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed. finished. - a verb which is in the past definite tense indicating an action completed in the past, without a continuing action into the future.

  18. Nothing is being destroyed, things can only be changed in shape or form. The total amount of energy remains the same in the universe. Nehemiah 9:6 You alone are the LORD; You have made heaven, The heaven of heavens, with all their host, The earth and everything on it, The seas and all that is in them, And You preserve them all. Hebrews 1:3 .. upholding all things by the word of His power, ..

  19. The second law of Thermodynamics states that matter and energy can be changed in form or level but its always toward a lower level. • Examples: • The sun is burning up and will eventually burn out • A new car today will most likely be rusting and falling apart in 30 years • We are using up the earth’s resources.

  20. The earth was not designed to last forever Hebrews 1:10 And: "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. 11 They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; 12 Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail."

  21. Geology Geology involves the study of the history of the earths crust, rocks and strata

  22. Geological Column

  23. Geological Column Would have to be 130 miles deep. The earth crust is only 25 – 30 miles deep.

  24. True Geological Column A great variety of organism are found here from the simplex to the complex

  25. The flood in Gen 6:17 and Gen 7:23 is the answer For something to become a fossil it has to be covered quickly before it decays. Since there are so many different organism in one place the flood waters best fit why so many are preserved in one place. The water would quickly bury these creatures give them the ideal condition to become fossils.

  26. “This stone was engraved by the Incas long before the discovery of dinosaurs in the mid 1800's. Engraved on this stone is a triceratops dinosaur which is accurately portrayed in detail with a human rider mounted on its back. It would appear that the Incas, or their ancestors, had seen living dinosaurs.”

  27. “The oldest fossil footprint yet found was discovered in June 1968 by William J. Meister on an expedition to Antelope Spring, 43 miles west of Delta, Utah, USA. He was accompanied by his wife and two daughters, and by Mr. and Mrs. Francis Shape and their two daughters. The party had already discovered several fossils of trilobites when Meister split open a two-inch-thick slab of rock with his hammer and discovered the print. The rock fell open 'like a book' revealing on one side the footprint of a human with trilobites right in the footprint itself. The other half of the rock slab showed an almost perfect mold of the footprint and fossils. Amazingly the human was wearing a sandal! The sandal that seems to have crushed a living trilobite was 10 1/4 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide; the heel is indented slightly more than the sole, as a human shoe print would be." According to the "Theory of Evolution" humans and trilobites would not have been around at the same time, but as the photo shows, they were.” Trilobite Foot prints with sandals on

  28. “In 1934 Mr. A.M. Coffee of Stinnett, Texas, a pumper for the Gulf Oil Company, discovered a trail of nine “human-like footprints” in series on a rock ledge about four miles out of town. He worked one of the tracks loose and took it home. After he showed the artifact to a few friends including his boss, various interested persons took the rest of the tracks from the site. The discovery created an instant controversy among archaeologists, geologists and anthropologists, because the sedimentary rock system of the entire area is geologically assigned Permian (assumed to be 225 million years old). The general consensus was that the print had to be a carving made by Indians, or the like. The difficulties involved in drawing such conclusions were enhanced by the fact that the print was accompanied by eight other prints in the series, along with an adjacent child's print. Further controversy ensued when it was pointed out that the tracks were not “stylized” as other Indian carvings are.”

  29. Out of the 250,000 different species preserved in fossils there has never been a half formed creature. Scientist will never find their missing link. Genesis 1:11 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
