nature the working of infinite power. But to unaided human reason,

nature’s teaching is contradictory and disappointing. Only in the
light of revelation can it be read aright. “By faith we understand.”
Hebrews 11:3
.
“In the beginning God.”
Genesis 1:1
. Here alone can the mind in
its eager questioning find rest. Above, beneath, beyond, abides Infi-
nite Love, working out all things to accomplish “the good pleasure
of His goodness.”
2 Thessalonians 1:11
.
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His
eternal power and Godhead.”
Romans 1:20
. But their testimony can
be understood only through the aid of the divine Teacher.
“When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into
all truth.”
John 16:13
. Only by the aid of that Spirit and the Word
can the testimony of science be rightly interpreted. Only under the
direction of the Omniscient One shall we, in the study of His works,
be enabled to think His thoughts after Him.
