Science and the Wonders of Nature
Modern science passes over the great wonders of nature, because it is obsessed with the idea that the world was produced and is maintained some way mechanically of itself. But when we stop to think of vegetable life for instance, here is dirt, and by the alchemy of life, there is produced grass and fruit and food of all kinds. It is a marvel. The word of God explains it. It tells us that "He [God] causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man." And then we are given the object of it all,—in order "that He [God] may bring forth food out of the earth." Now that is real science, for it is real truth, and accords with the facts. But much of modern science is too atheistic to acknowledge it. All should be very suspicious of any declaration of scientific men when it is in contradiction of the plain sayings of the Book.
