Biology – The study of living organisms.
Vultures And Wild Goats And Worms Oh My!
You will die but the carbon will not; its career does not end with you. It will return to the soil, and there a plant may take it up again in time, sending it once more on a cycle of plant and animal life. (Jacob Bronowski)
As I began the process of researching, writing and putting together SURTSBiology, I realized that there were 29 sets of bible verses that someway…somehow…mentions directly or indirectly, items that qualify under the scientific study of biology.
And that was just for vultures and wild goats and worms.
Are there bible verses relating to serpents and spiders and vipers that I may have missed? Maybe. What I did discover while putting this section of SURTSScience – Biology together is the fact that the Holy Bible has plenty to say about not only serpents and spiders and vipers, but many more of our planets creatures as well. In fact, there are so many bible verses relating to the study of biology, SURTSBiology had to be divided up into 10 sections:
Genesis and Leviticus And Proverbs Oh My!
Ants And Bats And Caterpillars Oh My!
Chameleons And Crickets And Doves Oh My!
Eagles And Flies And Hares Oh My!
Hawks And Lambs And Locusts Oh My!
Moles And Owls And Pigs Oh My!
Pigeons And Rats And Seagulls Oh My!
Serpents And Spiders And Vipers Oh My!
Vultures And Wild Goats And Worms Oh My! and,
For this section of SURTSBiology…Vultures…to Wild Goats…to Worms Oh My!, I would ask that you consider the following…
For a book that is not intended to be a book on science, let alone biology, it is quite amazing, not only on the amount of science that is in there, but the validity of the references regarding biology, that are in there.
Based on the evidence presented, I would submit to you there is absolutely nowhere in the Bible where the biology topics are unfounded. I would also submit to you that there is nowhere in the Bible where any scientific discovery since the Bible was put together, has yet to be proven false, regarding biology.
What is truly amazing is the fact that many of the facts above were already in the Bible before man and his science…and biology, ‘discovered’ them. In multiple cases, by hundreds or thousands of years.
What other religious book has this record?
The point is this:
While the Holy Bible is of course a religious book first and foremost, clearly, it is much more than that.

And there you have it.
There are at least 29 sets of bible verses found in the Holy Bible, whose focus is on vultures…to wild goats…to worms. All of these bible verses can be considered under the scientific branch of biology.
If you have gotten this far there may be a question you might be thinking to yourself.
Why are cats and sharks not mentioned in the Holy Bible?
I asked that same question myself.
Being a dog lover and neutral towards cats, I am glad that the Bible is on my side. However, besides alienating about half of those reading this, that does not mean that cats did not exist when the Bible was being written.
Is someone going to say that the Bible is false because dogs are in and cats are out?
Is that truly logical?
Sharks. I guess that the reason that sharks are specifically not mentioned by name in the Holy Bible is perhaps anyone who went to go look for them maybe never came back to tell anyone that sharks should be mentioned by name in the Holy Bible.…
In other words, just because an animal is not specifically mentioned in the Holy Bible doesn’t mean that they didn’t exist….
The reliability is more than coincidence.
