The deepest students of science are constrained to recognize in nature the working of infinite power. But to man’s unaided reason, nature’s teaching cannot but be contradictory and disappointing. Only in the light of revelation can it be read aright. “Through faith we understand.” Hebrews 11:3. (Ed 134.1) MC VC

“In the beginning God.” Genesis 1:1. Here alone can the mind in its eager questioning, fleeing as the dove to the ark, find rest. Above, beneath, beyond, abides Infinite Love, working out all things to accomplish “the good pleasure of His goodness.” 2 Thessalonians 1:11. (Ed 134.2) MC VC

“The invisible things of Him since the creation of the world are ... perceived through the things that are made, even His everlasting power and divinity.” Romans 1:20, R.V. But their testimony can be understood only through the aid of the divine Teacher. “What man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:11. (Ed 134.3) MC VC

“When He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth.” John 16:13. Only by the aid of that Spirit who in the beginning “was brooding upon the face of the waters;”(Genesis 1:2) of that Word by whom “all things were made;”(John 1:3) of that “true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world,”(John 1:9) can the testimony of science be rightly interpreted. Only by their guidance can its deepest truths be discerned. (Ed 134.4) MC VC

Only under the direction of the Omniscient One shall we, in the study of His works, be enabled to think His thoughts after Him. (Ed 134.5) MC VC
