The Fibonacci sequence is found throughout scripture and nature. It is where you start with 1, add 1 to get 2, add 1 & 2 to get 3, 2 & 3 to get 5 and so forth. It expands as follows: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89 and so on. Plotted on polar coordinates, you get a spiral, and that spiral pattern is evidence throughout nature.Mert Pekrul has invented a motor that uses the fibonacci pattern as a mechanism to efficiently harness steam power in a compact engine.

The Natural Logarithm that is used to model the world around us was discovered by diligent scientists studying the fields of finance, mathematics, physics, chemistry. In science, we observe an orderly universe with periodicity and systems which obey laws, all of which we can express mathematically. We begin with a non-technical explanation of the who, what, where, when, and why of “e”, the natural logarithmic base. As we read in the Bible, God gave Israel the Law, but when th

Dr. Grady McMurtry shares his story of inquiry into truth as a scientist that led him from a belief in evolution as a teacher to discover the truth of Christianity. He then questioned evolution and found it a house of cards. Dr. Grady talks about unique design in plants and how they are interdependent upon insects for pollination. We talked about the dinosaur tree, the Wollemi Pine, that was abundant during the time of the dinosaurs, yet was found in Australia and grows in va

Derek Marshall explains that there is evidence of design in that the biological molecules of earth are formed from 5-6 elements from the 3rd period of the periodic table creating a digital combination lock, a form of encryption. The chemical space created by this encryption is a possible 10 to the 60th power of possible organic compounds under 500 Daltons. Derek’s model shows that generation of the larger amino acids of the 20 that are used by life are not probable under orig

Beauty is a spiritual quality, and it is something that is difficult to measure and define scientifically. Some of the limitations of science are in the areas where the spiritual is dominant such as in the fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. Beauty is often measured using the Golden Ratio where the porportion of sizes seem to fit a pattern. Symmetry, perspective, color also appeal to the eye, but mo

Derek Marshall shows that the Bible exhibits the use of fibonacci numbers and that is also reflected in life. The fibonacci series is 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144, 233, (377) and each number adds to the previous to get the next number. This pattern is found throughout life and in the orders given by God to build the ark and the temple. Dr. Don DeYoung shows the use of the fibonacci series in the way leaves are arranged on trees in a Math Matters article.

A mathematical pattern exists throughout scripture that matches a pattern found in nature and in the chemical elements.

Derek Marshall give a taste of his research that correlates a mathematical pattern found in scripture to a common design.
