Hydrology – The study of the earth’s water.
Genesis To Job.
In a watershed, we all live downstream. (Anonymous)
As I began the process of researching, writing and putting together SURTSHydrology, I realized that there were quite a few bible verses that someway…somehow…mentions directly or indirectly, items that qualify under the scientific study of hydrology.
SURTSHydrology will be divided up into 2 sections:
Genesis To Job and
For this section of SURTSHydrology…Genesis To Job, I would ask that you consider the following…
For a book that is not intended to be a book on science, let alone hydrology, it is quite amazing, not only on the amount of science that is in there, but the validity of the references regarding hydrology, 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 hydrology.
What is truly amazing is the fact that many of the facts above were already in the Bible before man and his science…and hydrology, ‘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.
15 sets of bible verses found in Genesis To Job, whose focus can be considered under the scientific branch of hydrology.
If one of these verses is read independently, then it is possible to assume the reader may not come to this conclusion:
While the Holy Bible is of course a religious themed book first and foremost, clearly, it is much more than that.
I would submit to you that in regards to the Holy Bible and the scientific field of hydrology…
The reliability is more than coincidence.
