Paths of the Seas

Matthew Maury discovered ocean currents inspired by this verse.

Scripture Reference: Psalm 8:8 (c. 1000 BC)

"...the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas."

The Evidence

Matthew Maury, the 'Father of Oceanography', read this verse and reasoned that if the Bible says there are 'paths', they must exist. He went looking for them.

Scientific Validation

Maury discovered and mapped the major ocean currents (like the Gulf Stream), revolutionizing navigation and safety at sea.

Significance

Scripture directly inspired a major scientific discovery.
