Thinking about the musings from Day 108: The Holy Bible and Biology – D – Part 1.…
I would submit to you that once you understand what the definition of biology is, it is easy to spot references to this scientific field in the Holy Bible. I would further submit to you that as you continue going through the alphabet, the references found in the Holy Bible are bountiful indeed.
In Day 103: The Holy Bible And Biology – Genesis To Proverbs., 12 bible verses were covered.
In Day 104: The Holy Bible and Biology – A To B., 26 bible verses were covered.

In Day 107: The Holy Bible And Biology – C – Conclusion., 21 bible verses were covered.

So, right now to date, there are 128 bible verses, who by definition, qualify under the scientific branch of biology.
And now, it is time to move on to the next letters E and F.
Which will be covered next time.
Do not feel discouraged if you do not see a connection with the 25 sets of verses from today from the Holy Bible that relate to the scientific field of biology. Do not feel discouraged if you are still unsure that the verses contained in the letters A through D contain any scientific relevance at all. Instead, understand that after you have read these verses, you are continuing the process of learning about the relationship between the scientific field of biology and the Holy Bible…perhaps without even realizing it.

Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?
Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading Day 109: The Holy Bible And Biology – D – Conclusion.
If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.
Please feel free to go back to where all of this began:
