  11. "Thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons." 44:19
  12. "I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. ... The world is mine, and the fulness thereof."
    God takes credit for the entire creation. Preadators, prey, parasite, and host: God purposefully designed them all. 50:11-12
  13. According to the psalmist, snails melt. But they don't, of course, they simply leave a slimy trail as they move along. 58:8

  16. God is so strong that he can break the head of dragons and of leviathan. 74:13-14

  27. "The Lord ... who healeth all thy diseases." God heals all diseases. Medical science is unnecessary. 103:2-3
  28. "God ... who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain" (The earth is stationary and does not orbit the sun.) 104:5

  36. "He calleth them all by their names."
    God knows how many stars there are and knows them all by name. That's pretty impressive since there are 100 billion or so galaxies, each containing about 100 billion stars. 147:7
  37. Even the dragons praise the Lord. 148:7
  38. "Praise him in the firmament of his power." 150:1
