Oceanography owes a great debt to the books of Matthew Fontaine Maury. His discoveries have been of inestimable help to navigators of the high seas. Maury acknowledged his debt to the Bible for some of his scientific findings. One day when he was ill, his son read Psalms 8:8 to him. When the boy read the eighth verse, his father asked him to repeat it: “The birds of the air, and fish of the sea, and all that swim the paths of the seas.” When the boy had finished, the great scientist declared, “If there are paths in the sea, I am going to find them.” Today the great oceangoing vessels follow the paths marked out by Maury, who believed they were there because the Bible said they were.
