Pastor Olukoya’s assertion aligns with the history of Matthew Fontaine Maury, often called the “Father of Modern Oceanography. He was a 19th-century U.S. naval officer, who indeed was inspired by Psalm 8:8 in his pioneering work on ocean currents. His studies led to the mapping of wind and sea currents, revolutionizing maritime navigation.
Olukoya’s comments on this aim to emphasize the divine wisdom contained within the Bible and its relevance to scientific discovery. He suggests that many of the advancements credited to modern science have roots in biblical teachings, highlighting the scripture’s enduring influence.
According to him, “It is on record that the man that first of all studied oceanic got the inspiration from Psalm 8:8. This is when the Bible talks about the paths of the sea. This psalm 8:8 is revealing that there are paths in the sea that one can travel to. This is to tell you about the wonders of God. And everything discovered by the scientists today all have it origin from the Bible.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
