[B-3]  Interesting Number Facts In Nature

 
     It should not surprise us that the same numbers which appear throughout the Bible also appear throughout nature! {God is the Author of the Bible and the laws of science.} In engineering and physics we learn that the most stable of all formations is a triangle which has 3 sides. In mathematics there are four primary rectilinear forms:
     In a plane
          The triangle with 3 sides
          The square has 4 sides 4+3=7

    In the solid
         The pyramid has 5 sides
         The cube has 6 sides 5+6=11

In animals the period of gestation (time from conception to birth)
     The mouse is            21 (3 x 7) days
     The hare and rat,       28 (4 x 7) days
     The cat,                56 (8 x 7) days
     The dog,                63 (9 x 7) days
     The lion,               98 (14 x 7) days
     The sheep,             147 (21 x 7) days
     The common hen,         21 (3 x 7) days
     The duck,               42 (6 x 7) days
     The parrot and ostrich, 42 (6 x 7) days
     The canary,             21 (3 x 7) days
     The mallard,            35 (5 x 7) days

The musical scale consisting of notes distinguishable by the human ear all consist of numbers of vibration which are multiples of 11 {middle C = 264 hz --> 24x11, D = 297 hz --> 27x11, etc.}

The atomic numbers of every important element is a multiple of 4 or 7 {gold is 196 (4x7²), iron is 56 (7x2³), silver is 108 (2²x3³), copper is (7x3²), carbon is 12 (3x4), mercury is 200 (4x2x5²), Uranium is 236 (4x59), etc.}

The same laws of numbers apply to plants as well. The number of leaves on various plants before one leaf is exactly lined up with one below it is always the same:
      In the apple it is always the fifth leaf
      In the oak it is always the fourth leaf
      In the peach it is the sixth
      In the holly it is the eighth; but it takes two turns of the spiral before the leaf stands
           immediately over the first.

     In the bee multiples of 3 are seen:

    The worker grub reaches maturity in 21 (3x7) days
    And it is at work 3 days after leaving its cell.
    The drone matures in 24 (8x3) days
    The bee is composed of 3 sections
    The two eyes are composed of about 3000 small eyes,
    each (like the cells of the comb) having six sides.
    Underneath the body are 6 wax scales with which the comb is made.
    It has 6 legs, each composed of 3 sections
    The foot is formed of three triangular sections
    The antennae consist of 9 sections
    The stinger has 9 barbs on each side

Each orange has an even number of segments.
Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.

The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to
