Come not between the dragon and his wrath. (William Shakespeare)
Thinking about the musings from Day 160: The Holy Bible And Paleontology – The Book Of Job…Part 2.…
I would submit to you that once you understand what the definition of paleontology is, it is easy to spot references to this scientific field in the Holy Bible. I would further submit to you that once you recognize what to look for, these references are bountiful indeed.
In Day 157: The Holy Bible And Paleontology – Genesis…Just Genesis., 18 bible verses were covered that are contained in the book of Genesis.
In Day 158: The Holy Bible And Paleontology – Exodus To Revelation., 15 bible verses were covered that are contained in the books of Exodus to Revelation.
In Day 159: The Holy Bible And Paleontology – The Book Of Job., 14 bible verses were covered that are contained in the book of Job.
In Day 160: The Holy Bible And Paleontology – The Book Of Job…Part 2., 17 bible verses were covered that are contained in the book of Job.
So now, let us conclude with 15 more bible verses that contain the following concept relating to the scientific study of paleontology, that can be found in the book of Job…Conclusion:
1. Job 41:20-21 KJV:
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. 21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
2. Job 41:22-23 KJV:
22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
3. Job 41:24-25 KJV:
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. 25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
4. Job 41:26-27 KJV:
26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. 27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
5. Job 41:28-29 KJV:
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. 29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
6. Job 41:30-31 KJV:
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. 31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
7. Job 41:32-34 KJV:
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. 33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. 34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
And there you have it.
So, at final count, there are 79 bible verses, who by definition, qualify under the scientific branch of paleontology.
Are there a couple of verses that I may have missed?
Possibly.
However, whether I found them all or maybe missed a couple, what is clear is that you cannot deny the fact that there is a strong connection between the Holy Bible and the scientific branch of paleontology.
So the question has to be, after covering the scientific branches of: astronomy, biology, anthropology, geology, hydrology, meteorology, and now paleontology, are there any other branches of science that can be found in the Holy Bible?
That question will be answered next time.
Do not feel discouraged if you do not see a connection with the 15 sets of verses from today from the Holy Bible that relate to the scientific field of paleontology. Do not feel discouraged if you are still unsure that the verses contained in these bible verses 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 paleontology and the Holy Bible…perhaps without even realizing it.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. 33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. 34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride. (Job 41:32-34 KJV)
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 161: The Holy Bible And Paleontology – The Book Of Job…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:
