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,

The issue is not over the inspiration for scientific inquiry, but rather introducing non-scientific concepts into scientific explanations. Mr. Maury engaged in the former, but I see no evidence to suggest that he engaged in the latter.

Mr. Maury derived his hypothesis from the Psalms, so you might want to be checking on that old worldview there after all.

Mr. Maury was inspired to investigate oceanography from a passage in Psalms, however his final theory was based upon actual research and observation, not Biblcal claims. I do not understand the point that you are attempting to make.

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.

Again, I do not understand the purpose of this statement. What is the point that you are trying to make? I do not see how the alleged consequences of a "worldview" are relevant to the discussion.
