Human Science & God’s Science

“Every fact in nature is a revelation of God. It is such as it is because God is such as He is.
...Human science is but the backward undoing of the tapestry web of God’s science.
...Is oxygen and hydrogen the divine idea of water? There is no water in oxygen, no water in hydrogen: it comes bubbling fresh from the imagination of the living God, rushing from under the great white throne of the glacier. The very thought of it makes one gasp with an elemental joy no metaphysician can analyse. The water itself, that dances, and sings, and slakes the wonderful thirst—symbol and picture of that draught for which the woman of Samaria made her prayer to Jesus—this lovely thing itself, whose very wetness is a delight to every inch of the human body in its embrace—this live thing which, if I might, I would have running through my room, yea, babbling along my table—this water is its own self its own truth, and is therein a truth of God.
Let him who would know the love of the Maker become sorely of thirst and drink of the brook by the way and then lift up his head—not at that moment to the Maker of oxygen and hydrogen—but to the Inventor and Mediator of thirst and water. And then the man will foresee a little of what his soul will find in God.”
