Paths in the Sea

American naval officer Matthew Maury (1806-1873) is considered the father of oceanography. Bed-ridden during a serious illness, he asked his son to read the Bible to him. The expression "paths of the sea" in Psalms:8:8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
See All... arrested his attention. Recovering, Maury believed God’s word and went looking for those paths. His search led to discovery of  warm and cold ocean currents. His book The Physical Geography of the Sea and Its Meteorologyis still considered a basic text on oceanography.
