Let’s start with air…
People argue whether it

As Superintendent of the US Naval Observatory he meticulously recorded ocean currents and published the The Physical Geography of the Sea in 1855 (and still in use today) after paying attention to what he learnt in childhood…from Psalm 8:
How’s that! Two fields of Science based on the Bible: meteorology and oceanography, so let’s look for more……
