Actually MATTHEW MAURY got the idea of ocean currents directly from the Bible, so I guess your worldview has been completely shattered.

I have done some research and while I found that Maury derived the inspiration for his study from Psalms, his published work was based upon observation, without introduction of the suggestion of divine intervention. If you have a direct reference that says otherwise, I will hear you out. Thus far, however, my worldview remains intact.

Dim,
The deal was, introducing the "Concept of God" into their work and deriving inspiration would certainly fall under that category. As you know the first part of the scientific method is the hypothesis. Mr. Maury derived his hypothesis from the Psalms, so you might want to be checking on that old worldview there after all.

However if you need some more to chew on there is aways Blaise Pascal. He certainly had a habit of making reference to that God fellow.

In any case you are going to find out for yourself if your "worldview" is correct, as there are only 2 certain things in this life, death and taxes. You have certainly felt the effects of the latter and the former is just around the corner.

All righty it's time to place your "Wager".

Best Regards,
