Geology – The study of the origin, history, and structure of the earth.
Just The Rocks: Part 1.
Everest? Don’t forget it’s really just a big pile of rocks. (David Breashears)

SURTSGeology will be divided up into 3 sections:
Just The Rocks: Part 1 and;
For this section of SURTSGeology…Just The Rocks: Part 1, I would ask that you consider the following…
For a book that is not intended to be a book on science, let alone geology, it is quite amazing, not only on the amount of science that is in there, but the validity of the references regarding geology, that are in there.
Based on the evidence presented, I would submit to you there is absolutely nowhere in the Bible where the hydrology 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 geology.
What is truly amazing is the fact that many of the facts above were already in the Bible before man and his science…and geology, ‘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.
