I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. (Psalm 139:14)

Did you know there is a difference between historical and observational science? Learn about the two types of science and the disciplines of forensic science through in-depth investigation and observation.
