Life is dear to every living thing; the worm that crawls upon the ground will struggle for it. (Solomon Northup)
Thinking about the musings from Day 126: Rest…Relax…Reflect.…
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.

W, and more specifically, the worm.
Bible verses relating to the Worm:

And there you have it.
So, right now to date, there are 460 bible verses, who by definition, qualify under the scientific branch of biology.
So…did we cover the entire alphabet connecting the scientific field of biology and the Holy Bible?
Actually…there is one more that must be covered.
If we have already covered the entire alphabet, what could we have possibly have missed?
That question will be answered next time.
Do not feel discouraged if you do not see a connection with the 14 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 W 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.
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (Mark 9:44 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 127: The Holy Bible And Biology – V – Z…(Actually V – W) – 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:
