Thinking about the musings from Day 103: The Holy Bible and Biology – Genesis To Proverbs.…
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 you do not have to go far into the alphabet to see these references in the Holy Bible.
In fact, once you begin with the letter A…and end at the letter B…
26 bible verses would have already been covered.
In Day 103: The Holy Bible and Biology – Genesis To Proverbs., 12 bible verse were covered.
Now, let’s continue with the 26 examples of the scientific field of biology that can be found in the letters A and B:

Do not feel discouraged if you are still unsure that there is any scientific relevance at all between the Holy Bible and the scientific field of biology. Instead, understand that after you have read these verses, you have begun 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 104: The Holy Bible and Biology – A To B.
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.
