Our God is an Awesome God!

Here's some pretty interesting science facts I found by browsing the web.

Yes, I know, I'm a nerd, but I bet you'll find some of these pretty interesting!

We can only stand in awe of our creator.


Did you know that there are 206 bones in the adult human body and there are 300 in children (as they grow some of the bones fuse together).

Flea's can jump 130 times higher than their own height. In human terms this is equal to a 6ft. person jumping 780 ft. into the air.

The most dangerous animal in the world is the common housefly. Because of their habits of visiting animal waste, they transmit more diseases than any other animal.

The world's largest amphibian is the giant salamander. It can grow up to 5 ft. in length.

The blue whale can produce sounds up to 188 decibels. This is the loudest sound produced by a living animal and has been detected as far away as 530 miles.

A new born blue whale measures 20-26 feet (6.0 - 7.9 meters) long and weighs up to 6,614 pounds (3003 kg).

The Stegosaurus dinosaur measured up to 30 feet (9.1 meters) long but had a brain the size of a walnut.

The human eye blinks an average of 4,200,000 times a year. (How many of you blinked when you read that?)

Tremendous erosion at the base of Niagara Falls (USA) undermines the shale cliffs and as a result the fall recede over 3.5 feet per year!

40 to 50 percent of body heat can be lost through the head (no hat) as a result of its extensive circulatory network. (That’s why mom always wanted you to wear a hat!)

A large swarm of desert locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) can consume 20,000 tons (18,160,000 kilograms) of vegetation a day. (Makes sense why they were a plague on Egypt!)

Armadillos, opossums, and sloth's spend about 80% of their lives sleeping. (Lucky animals!)

The greatest tide change on earth occurs in the Bay of Fundy. The difference between low tide and high tide can be as great as 54 ft. 6 in. (16.6 meters).

The leg muscles of a locust are about 1000 times more powerful than an equal weight of human muscle.

The cosmos contains approximately 50,000,000,000 galaxies.

There are between 100,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000,000 stars in a normal galaxy.

That’s 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars at a MINIMUM!

The only letter not appearing on the Periodic Table is the letter “J”. (That one’s for you Jenny!)
