Marine biologist Rachel G. Jordan explores the intersection of faith and science through her experiences studying ocean life. Her book "If the Ocean has a Soul: A Marine Biologist's Pursuit of Truth through Deep Waters of Faith and Science" reveals profound spiritual insights discovered in underwater ecosystems while challenging readers to embrace both scientific curiosity and deep faith.

• Biodiversity in marine ecosystems demonstrates how differences strengthen communities rather than divide them.
• Faith and science both seek answers to "why" questions, driven by wonder and curiosity.
• Topics like evolution and climate change aren't salvation issues, but can become unnecessary barriers to faith.
• Rachel's research on sea anemones taught her gratitude for all living things and their capacity to praise God.
• Every creature, even seemingly annoying ones like mosquitoes, has a unique way of praising its Creator.
• The kingdom of God may include incredible biodiversity - past, present, and future creatures all praising together.
